INTO GREAT SILENCE is the first film that documents daily life behind the walls of the Grande Chartreuse. Director Philip Groening spent six months in retreat in the legendary cloister, sharing the life of the Carthusian monks. A life dictated by the vow of silence and the strict rules of seclusion. The images he has captured in a world focused on spirituality give the spectator a unique opportunity of living an extraordinary experience of intense silence.
