A 16mm portrait in response to the Franciscan ideal of simplicity and poverty which is the guiding principle of the Poor Clares and their ‘hidden’ life.
Filmed in the enclosed Monastero di Santa Chiara, San Marino. The nuns were filmed in the morning during the hours of work, in the ‘laboratorio’ sewing, mending, ironing, in the kitchen preparing the midday meal and in the kitchen garden.
