Mother Vera

In a hidden Orthodox monastery in Belarus, Mother Vera weaves the inner world of an unorthodox young nun with the community that saved her life. After 20 years as a monastic, Vera faces deep inner conflict and must now confront her past, trusting her instincts to find the liberation she desires. Through magnificent photography, directors Cécile Embleton and Alys Tomlinson compose a mystical journey between shadow and light, capturing a spiritual odyssey of self-realisation and acceptance. A poignant and universal story, Mother Vera explores faith, recovery, and the desire for liberation within and beyond cloistered walls.
