THE NOVICE
A group of young men gives up on their existing lives and enters the Dominican Novitiate. Novices learn their duties, but more importantly, they form new friendships. They start to open up and confess to each other. They share their doubts about their faith in God and wonder whether the convent is the way they should follow. They miss their families and friends. They miss sexual contacts.
„The Novice” is a story about the search for life’s purpose. It is also a story about giving up on a path that seemed to be leading to it.
