While filming her previous documentary Heaven and Earth, Alexia Veriter met Brother Benoît and Brother Jean-Laurent. They were leading a walking and prayer retreat in the peaceful setting of the Taulignan monastery. Over the course of the days, a friendship began to take root. They shared with her the unique story of their community: four Dominican brothers who chose to live in the heart of the Moulins district in Lille-an urban neighborhood marked by poverty and hardship. Guided by a deep faith and a commitment to tangible action, they share the daily lives of the residents, living among the poor. Together with their neighbors, they initiated a local ecological approach-modest in scale, yet deeply grounded in the real. With delicacy and poetic sensibility, this film explores their quiet yet active presence, their life choices, and the embodied sense of brotherhood that invites us to question our own relationship to the world.
