“Devoted to God” directed by Marcin Lesisz
What is the meaning of life and faith of Sister Andrea?
In the third episode of the "Moldova. Renewal" series, our film crew visits the 18th-century Frumoasa Monastery in Iași, Romania, near the Moldovan border. Built by Moldavian Prince Grigore II Ghica, this remarkable Orthodox monastery is listed in Romania's National Register of Historic Monuments.
We present the story of Sister Andrei, who, despite existing restrictions regarding outsiders, chooses to share her life in the monastery, where she has resided for 20 years. As she describes it herself: "I cannot imagine a place where I would be happier."
The film was produced as part of the project “Moldova. Renewal."
