Synopsis:

Three monks from Mt. Athos, the largest monastic center of Orthodox Christianity, share their thoughts about faith, monasticism, their decision to become monks, their lives on Athos, and the monastic community. The camera travels across the peninsula, reaching pristine places and the summit of Mount Athos, recording snapshots from the monks’ everyday lives, including images unknown even to regular visitors of the Holy Mountain.

Communication with him left a lasting impression on all: on those who were close to Dochariou Monastery and could rightly consider themselves spiritual children of the newly-reposed Elder Gregory, and on those who met him at least once. I saw this many times.
