- Synopsis
- A community of monks lives isolated from the world, practicing martial arts and following the master’s strict rules. This film investigates their harsh life and the flow of Time in a unique closed environment, to approach the deep motivations of a radical choice, and the reasons that pushed the monks away from their affections. A poetic and emotional journey for both the filmmakers and the members of the “psycho-sect”, to understand the beliefs of these modern warriors of faith.
  
  “Eye-opening portrait of the isolated Italian religious sect Warriors of Light... watching these everyday lives moves from an act of contemplation to interrogation” “Screen International”
  
  “FAITH is as disciplined and intriguingly opaque as the men and women it studies,attempting to unlock the nature of the group through mesmeric observation of routine and ritual” “Variety”
