| Abstract | "Examines the everyday secular lives of nuns residing in the Romanian Orthodox monastery of Varatec. The majority ... live as small groups in private houses, much like regular villagers, rather than inside the walls of the communal abbey. Throughout the year, they integrate their duties at home with their religious responsibilities to their community and to the church ... The film also incorporates brief sequences of stop-motion animation, demonstrating some of the trials and tribulations that anthropologists sometimes encounter during filming and fieldwork"--Container. |
