My brother is about to make the biggest decision of his life. He has joined the Catholic order of the Steyler Missionaries to become a missionary monk. If he doesn't have a change of heart, he will take his final vows in a year's time and commit to a life of chastity, poverty, obedience and service to the Catholic Church. I am highly critical of his choice. This film is my quest to understand my brother's extreme decision and explore his world that lies behind the thick monastery walls. What I discover may prove to be far more than I bargained for.
