In 1940s Paris, a young Algerian is blackmailed by the police into spying on a mosque and finds his life changing forever.

Based on a true incident, the film is set in a Cistercian monastery in North Africa in the 1990s, where eight French monks live in cordial harmony with the local population... and what happens when violence encroaches.
