After ten years of correspondence, Michael Whyte was given unprecedented access to the monastery of the Most Holy Trinity, in Londons Notting HiIl. The monastery, which was founded in 1878, is home to the Discalced Order of CarmeIite Nuns. The nuns lead a cloistered life dedicated to prayer and contemplation, rarely Ieaving the monastery except to visit a doctor or dentist. SiIence is maintained throughout the day with the exception of two periods of recreation.
No Greater Love gives a unique insight into this cIosed worId where the modern worlds materiaIism is rejected; they have no television, radio or newspapers. The fiIm interweaves a year in the Iife of the monastery with the daily rhythms of Divine Office and work. Centred in Holy Week, it folIows a year in which a novice is professed and one of the senior nuns dies.
Though mainIy an observationaI film there are severaI interviews, which offer insights into their life, faith, moments of doubt and their belief in the power of prayer in the heart of the community. |
