They left worldly life, wife, children, work and entered the monastery. Through the portraits of three monks, the feature-length documentary film by Erik Praus captures the unique spiritual atmosphere and mysticism of the Orthodox monastery Pochaivská Lavra, which is located on a hill above the town of Pochaiv in the Ternopil region in western Ukraine. Fathers Gabriel, Vicilentius and Nazarius got rid of their traumatic past here, achieved peace and serenity and found the meaning of life. The path of faith is not only the privilege of the chosen ones. It is open to anyone who feels the "calling".
