Synopsis: Algeria, 1996. Fundamentalist terrorism and civil war are tearing the country apart. A group of French Trappist monks living at the centre of the conflict are caught between the government and the terrorists, and must decide whether to stay or go. A beautifully shot, poignant film about life, death and the meaning of faith.
