The Monastery: Mr. Vig and the Nun - Documentary Trailer

Worlds collide, tempers flare and dreams come true when Mr. Vig, an 82-year-old Danish recluse who has never known love, and Sister Amvrosija, a headstrong nun, join forces to transform Mr. Vig's run-down castle into a Russian Orthodox monastery.

I saw this one here in Sweden, may God have mercy on his soul and may he always be remembered in the prayers of all faithful!

I recently watched this documentary and it was absolutely fascinating! No matter where you live on this planet it's comforting to know that we all share similar hopes and dreams...disappointments and nightmares. We all are connected. Peace. ; )

@Josouto1 : You can watch it through Netflix or buy the DVD on Amazon. I can't wait to watch it, and to DO it myself. Build a monastery, called the Creative Art Center for Panajachel, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. My garden is my monastery. Love it.

On a boring sunday night I turned the TV and this beautiful, touching documentary was on. I couldn´t believe it, because our Brazilian TV here only have stupid and silly programmes. I was very surprised, not much for the monastery practices, but because of Mr Vig' life. His dreams, his aspirations, his revisions of the past, everything was very beautiful. The documentary was very human. Where can I find a complete version of it?

I tried watching this video but just couldn't get into it. It went a bit slow in parts, but I liked seeing the various practise of Orthodox Christianity in it...like the nuns venerating the icons. That was pretty cool.

@hhania I think he was actually pretty cool not sad. He achieved a lot and did things his own way.
