The Little Hours

In the secluded landscape of Garfagnana, Italy, during the dark year of 1347, a world-weary servant named Masseto seeks refuge from his vindictive lord in an isolated nunnery. Amidst the tranquil surroundings and devout sisters who inhabit this cloistered sanctuary, a profound sense of existential uncertainty pervades. Sister Alessandra, Sister Ginevra, and Sister Fernanda each wrestle with their individual callings, struggling to discern the purpose that drives their lives as religious women in a turbulent era.Their shared journey towards enlightenment unfolds against the backdrop of medieval Italy, where questions of faith, identity, and sisterhood converge in a poignant tale of self-discovery. As Masseto's path intertwines with that of the nuns, the narrative explores themes of redemption and the search for meaning amidst adversity, shedding light on the complexities of human experience against the tapestry of historical events. This evocative portrait of spiritual turmoil and resilience offers a deeply moving reflection on the universal quest for purpose, identity, and belonging.
