Have you ever considered what it would be like to live in a monastery? Religious life promises silence, peace, and seclusion from the world, time for oneself, space for prayer and for God. In our hectic everyday world, this can be appealing. At the same time, we associate monastic life with renunciation and restriction. What does it mean to submit to strict rules?

And then there's one's own approach to faith, one's own story. Does the monastery fit into one's own image of life as a Christian? What happens when charismatic praise meets Gregorian chant? Or when Protestant meets Catholic?

Priscilla comes from a Pentecostal church in the metropolis of Hamburg. There, life is free, vibrant, and often loud. For two weeks, she took on the challenge of living with Benedictine nuns at the Catholic monastery of St. Erentraud. A journey into a new world begins. The Bibel TV documentary shows, with impressive images and authentic conversations, what happens when two different denominations and ways of life collide.
