"A LITTLE MONASTERY IN TUSCANY" "A FILM BY OTAR IOSSELIANI" "In Castelnuovo dell'Abate by Montalcino, not far from Sienna, lives a community of five Augustine monks:" "Father André Forest, Father Etienne Roze, Father Olivier Nelle," "Brother Emmanuel Roze, Brother Jean-Charles Leroy." "" If we want to know the values of the possessions of the land, we must consider them from our deathbed :" "those honours, those distractions, those possessions will be taken away from us one day." "We must consequently strive to sanctify ourselves and nurture ourselves on the only possessions that will follow us into eternity. "" "Saint Alphonse of Liguori" "Here ends the first part of this film, the next part will take place in twenty years time in the same place with the same characters, if all goes well."
