The end of colonialism, but also the clash of religious faith and impulse are uniquely captured in the thrilling film by the leading directorial duo of Powell and Presberger, which won a prestigious Academy Award for Photography for its unique depiction of the Tibetan landscape.

Synopsis

In a remote Himalayan monastery, an order of English nuns struggle not only with the wild beauty of the primitive landscape, but also with the sexual awakening caused by the arrival of an agnostic man.

Δεν με ενθουσίασε αυτή η ταινία του διδύμου Μάικλ Πάουελ και Έμερικ Πρέσμπεργκερ εν αντιθέσει με άλλες δημιουργίες τους. Έτσι είναι δεν γίνεται να κάνουν οι καλλιτέχνες μόνο αριστουργήματα!
