A group of Greek Orthodox nuns settles down in a remote and beautiful village in Norway, planning to build a monastery on a steep and dangerous mountain overseeing the fjord. While the nuns, especially their leader, try to gain the community's trust and support, the villagers are divided in their response to the initiative. This is a unique, paradoxical story about the globalized intersection of willpower, transcendence, and profit.
