Marta comes from a deeply devout Catholic family, they are nine siblings. After high school, she entered the strictest of all monastic orders, the Carmelite Order. Marta lives according to monastic rules that were instituted in the Middle Ages, she lives a life of prayer and silence, and never leaves the monastery. Seven times a year, she receives visits from her family; they meet in a visiting room separated by bars. Today, Marta is 45 years old and has lived her entire adult life in the convent. The siblings have chosen different paths in life, they live in very different places in the world. The film follows a family across three generations, who have all chosen to live with God at the center. A film about faith and existential questions.
