THE MONASTERY is the award winning story about the 82-year-old bachelor Mr. Vig, who has never known love, and Sister Amvrosija, a young Russian nun, who – by chance or destiny – becomes part of his life. 50 years ago Mr. Vig bought Hesbjerg Castle, with the dream of turning it into a monastery. Now, many years later, a group of Russian Orthodox nuns are on their way, and Mr. Vigs life-long dream is about to come true. But, nuns have plans and wills of their own, and Mr. Vig must realize that his dream becomes different than what he imagined. http://www.themonasterymovie.com
