Losing Sonia
2012 · Documentary · 50 min. · Poland
Sonia has chosen a life that most people do not understand. She has embraced her calling and devoted herself to be a nun in a Russian Orthodox monastery. But she has not retreated from the world. Painting icons, taking care of animals and playing the church’s bells are all part of a daily routine that projects a different outlook on contemporary post-Soviet Union Russia. An unusual portrait of a woman.
