Adaptation of Father Sergey by Lev Tolstoi, it has the gift to be more than a good adaptation. For inspired cinematography, acting, well used minimalism, it propose, in admirable gentle way, a painful clash against the past, the fair atmosphere, giving force to each word and gesture. Its beauty, like a honey drop in sun, remains the precious gift. A young couple to a monk known for the cure gift. A short dialogue and the confession changing everything. A gift and her smile. A touching love story, admirable detail by detail.
