No Greater Love plot

After 10 years of insistence, director Michael Whyte was granted exceptional permission to film within the walls of the Monastery of the Holy Trinity in Notting Hill. Since 1878, this monastery in the heart of London has been home to the Order of the Carmelite Sisters, into whose closed world Whyte invaded. What he shows is not so much a group of unworldly women, but a lifestyle that approaches human existence in a radically different way. These women choose to be confronted every day with their God, their faith and their being, they constantly question themselves. The doubt weighs more heavily for them than the silence, the seclusion or the total separation from the outside world. Whyte approaches the monastery as a closed entity buzzing with intellectual activity, with the spiritual almost becoming a practical day job.
