Description
Filmed during the COVID-19 lockdown amid the energetic hum, noise and bustle of the South Bronx, filmmaker Rebecca Blandón captures life inside a cloistered convent as contemplative nuns navigate their daily routines. The ambient, observational short doc offers an intimate study of solitude, silence, habit and hope: core experiences the rest of the world was suddenly forced to confront. (Documentary, 13 min, Dir. Rebecca Blandón)
