Directing: Frederick Wiseman, Frederick Wiseman

Daily life in a Benedictine monastery follows resolution of conflict between personal needs and the institutional and organizational priorities of the community. In the Order, where the focus of life is the relationship of individual work and worship to the community as a whole, the brethren must cope with the same issues that arise in any community: rules, work, worship, values, love, and play.
