A meditation on a community grappling with existential questions and everyday monastic life, filmed over 3 years, in a buddhist monastery in rural France. We see inside a Zen Buddhist community who have given up all their possessions and signed up to a life of chastity for one common purpose - to transform their suffering with the world-famous teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. Filmed over 3 years, in their monastery in rural France and in the USA, the film is a meditation on a community grappling with existential questions and everyday monastic life.
