The Gist: One young monk is drawn to temptation when he meets a nun. They start communicating, sending signals across the abyss from one monastery to another using mirrors and sunlight…(more)

List Worthy Reasons…: Greek/Colombian helmer Spiros Stathoulopoulos blasted onto the scene with the 2007 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight selected PVC-1 (one 85 minute continuous shot featuring a human time bomb).

Release Date/Status?: We thought this would have been released in Cannes or Venice of 2011. Looks like a bonafide 2012 release. Update: This has been selected for the Berlin Film Festival.
