A cranky Danish bachelor locks horns with the Russian nun who has come to supervise renovations to the man's crumbling estate so that it can be used as a monastery.
Director: Pernille Grønkjær
Genres: Documentary
Gronkjaer's cinematography is pleasing, with beautiful sunsets and tranquil snowscapes. I won't give away the ending, but it might bring a tear to your eye. show more
