The simple way of living

This movie reveals a page of the everyday life in the Docheiariou monastery, from the Holy Mount Athos.

For the modern man it may seem impossible to understand why would someone choose to dedicate his/hers life to God, and to work incessantly, either outside (and the work is hard, physical) and inside (in his heart and in the church, praising God), but if you close your eyes and take a deep breath, and be at peace with you for a moment, sometimes you may want Peace more than anything, and go in search of it.

And if you truly want Peace, you might feel that you must leave behind everything, to find it and keep it. And with Peace comes also Love and Patience and Humility. And for these no effort is too big, and nothing else matters.

These men live in the Light of God, and it is He that gives them everything, so they feel at home and fulfilled.

May we all be blessed with a bit of their Peace of mind and heart, and may we all find true Love, above anything. This movie is not a movie, it is about real people, and real life for some very chosen few, who have chosen to Live.

Wonderful unique film

These are the stories that need to be told ... Having been living off the grid for seven years, making (possibly unnecessary) recent attempts to reconnect with a culture driven by electricity and silent posturing ... this story has more relevance than most will ever understand.

The film travels you is shocking the photo wonderful.

A soul-tuching movie

This film, set on Holy Mount Athos, captures the essence of a life devoted to simplicity and faith. The breathtaking cinematography makes you feel like you're truly there, surrounded by the peace of the Holy Mountain. The monks live with such purity and sincerity, untouched by the distractions of the world. There is no pretense, just a quiet, profound love that fills their lives.

After watching, you are left reflecting on the true purpose of life, realizing that only the love as is depicted in the movie can fulfill the inner emptiness, something this empty world can never offer.

More films like this should be made to remind us of these deeper truths.
