This French drama tells the story of Thomas, a 22-year-old man who is a drug addict. In an effort to put an end to his bad habit, he joins a community of former addicts who live isolated in the mountains and use prayers as a way to cure themselves. At first reluctant, Thomas gradually accepts to submit himself to a Spartan life of discipline, abstinence, hard work and frequent prayer. He discovers faith, but also love. And a new kind of
torment. The film was nominated for the Golden Bear and received the Silver Bear at the Berlin Festival.
