Only in complete silence, one starts to hear.
Only when language resigns, one starts to see.
This film is a documentary on the life of the Carthusian monks in France. A life of (mostly) silence, of order, of rhythm, of peace, of joy.
It is a (mostly) silent film.
I came away at peace. I see the need for quiet time in one's life. And the peace and order and silence of life in the monastery was a direct contrast to the busyness and noisiness of my life.
Perhaps I need to carve more time in my week for peace and for stillness.
Or perhaps I can gain inner peace within the busyness of my vocation.

I'd love to see that film, but no way will it ever come here to my area. I guess I'll wait for the DVD to come out.
Hey, at least I can play it late at night without worrying about waking the kids, right? LOL!
