After ten years of correspondence, Michael Whyte was given unprecedented access to the closed monastery of Carmelite nuns situated in London’s Notting Hill Gate. This documentary offers a rare insight into a cloistered way of life that remains defiantly at odds with the glitzy priorities and frenetic pace of the outside world. Questioning, elegant and surprising, this is a quietly absorbing work.

In this post-screening discussion director/writer/camera man Michael Whyte gives a background to the film and the profound affects it had on him.

The discussion was hosted by independent producer and Watershed board member Paul Appleby.
