Summaries

Storyline

USSR-China border, 1973. Private Rafael is on guard duty when the border falls under attack from Chinese kung fu warriors. Rafael is the only one to miraculously survive; images of hippie looking fighters running along the branches, Black Sabbath playing on the team's portable radio, forever embedded in his memory. Later, when seeing similar-looking monks in a monastery yard, he has an epiphany and decides to become a monk himself. The road to achieving the almighty power of humility is long and winding, providing both comic and enlightening turns. The proud Rafael seems to have been given the gift of powerful prayer. Yet he has to prove to Father Melhisedek, the elder monk Nafanail, flirtatious Rita and his rival and adversary Irinei, that he is indeed capable of becoming the enlightened man who can unite power and tenderness. — Estonia Film Institute The volatile Sino-Soviet Crisis, 1973. After surviving a furious attack by flying Chinese kung fu masters on the icy border between the USSR and China, Private Rafael has an epiphany. Determined to master the mystical martial art, he seeks enlightenment in an unexpected place: behind the tall stone walls of a secluded Orthodox monastery. Now, there is no going back; Rafael's sceptical mother must give her son the green light to walk the warrior's path. However, to unlock the monastic community's unfathomable powers, the wide-eyed neophyte must prove his mettle as a wushu champion to the wise elders and rival monks within the abbey. The challenge ahead is daunting, fraught with utter failure, explosive peril, and irresistible temptation. With deadly sin lurking around every corner, will Brother Rafael survive the invisible fight? — Nick Riganas
