Păcătoasa Teodora

Orthodox Christian nuns in a Romanian convent. Daily chores and rites of passage. Garden work and prayer. Tomfoolery, intimate discussion and archaic rituals, everyday existence and spirituality. A twenty-four-year-old is waiting for her “wedding” with God. Devotion without the physical urge, for the convent residents a slice of normality. An unobtrusive observation that fluctuates between empathy and respectful distance and portrays the the everyday life of the convent in a cliché-free manner that doesn't deny a certain feeling of alienation vis-à-vis the rituals encountered there.
