Monastery, The: Mr. Vig and the Nun

Beautiful cinematography and idyllic countryside highlight this fascinating 2006 documentary about cantankerous 82-year-old Dane Jorgen Laursen Vig who works with headstrong orthodox sister Abbess Amurosija from Russia to try and renovate his rundown castle after he decides to turn it into a monastery under the auspices of the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow.
