Plot summary

A documentary about a young Swedish woman’s decision to devote her life entirely to God.
Completely closed to the mass media and all outsiders, the Carmelite Convent in Glumslöv in the south of Sweden granted an exception for Maud Nycander to meet and interview Marta at the end of her novitiate. Nycander has followed Marta and her family since 1996 when Marta graduated from high school and made her radical decision. The film is an extraordinary meeting with a deeply religious family.
