This award winning film is a mesmerizing study of the lives of a few monks who live high up in a beautiful, reclusive monastery in the French Alps.

Philip Groning, director, spent 6 months living with the monks filming their daily rituals and the result is a meditative, unique cinematic event.

The film won the Special Jury Prize at the 2006 Sundance Festival, among other prizes.

£4/3 entry includes a bowl of monastic soup.
