Somewhere in Northern Russia in a small Russian Orthodox monastery lives an unusual man whose bizarre conduct confuses his fellow monks, while others who visit the island believe that the man has the power to heal, exorcise demons and foretell the future.
Artsy, beautiful, pretentious, this is a good movie forged on the Orthodox beliefs that Heaven can only be reached through pain and suffering. Not a bad movie at all, but not my cup of tea. Three popcorns because it looks nice.
