Synopsis
A Capuchin monastery in the Alps: Irdning, Austria. Only three brothers are left. The youngest is 56, the oldest 87. They try to keep the monastery alive. The big problem of recruiting new monks forces many monasteries to close. But Brother Rudolf, the youngest, had an epiphanyic experience, which lead to the ultimately rescue of the monastery. The ‘prayer of the heart’ - Exerzitien, where Rudolph practices a very ‘modern’ form of the traditional catholic prayer, including 10 days absolute silence for all attendees. Participants of the Exerzitien tell their experiences, Rudolph and his brothers report their very unique way until today. We accompany the Capuchin brothers in their everyday life, show the historical development of the Capuchin order and the supported by the whole village. 25min 14sec | 1080i | HD | 16:9 | original German version with English subtitles available PRODUCTION: Starlounge GmbH Lillemor Mallau Gregor-Mendel-Str. 3 14469 Potsdam, Germany tel.: +49 (0) 170-2800070 tel.: +49 (0) 163-2981004 info@tivolientertainment.com www.starloungetv.com
