The Monastery: Mr. Vig & the Nun

Appeared at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival
Documentary filmmaker Pernille Rose Grønkjær tells the delightful story of a crumbling castle deep in the Danish marshlands and its owner, Jørgen Laursen Vig, an 82-year-old hermit who wants to give it to the Russian Orthodox Church to use as a monastery. In response, Sister Anbrosija, a headstrong control freak, arrives from Moscow to determine whether the dilapidated fortress has potential, and soon Mr. Vig and the nun are butting heads. Salon described this small gem as an "oddly graceful combination of fairy tale and romantic comedy."
