Julia's Farewell

Julia’s Farewell

Directed by Beate Neumann | 2010 | WDR | NDR | arte

A young, well-educated and successful woman wants to become a nun. A paradox in today’s post-soviet emerging Russia. What was it that made the former engineer Julia give up her secular life and her family and turn to the monastery? We accompany Julia through a testing time until her ordination as a nun. With the sacred Postrig Julia becomes Sister Innoketia – it’s a farewell for good.
