Athos – Im Jenseits dieser Welt

The Athos peninsula in Greece is one of the last secrets of Europe. Only pilgrims get a few days to visit the monastery’s Republic. For the first time a movie diary about Athos is produced. Two key messages are examined: time for life and respect for people. Both seem to be missing in our world. From the Athos monks we can learn to install larger windows in our homes to let light and air, love and life in.
