Final Vows

An intimate look into a cloistered order of nuns at Santa Rita Abbey, a Cistercian monastery in the high desert of Arizona. The nuns, who take a lifelong vow, candidly share their joys and struggles in this community of prayer and work. Made from small moments of daily life, the film serves as a meditation on aging and caring for others and asks if this lifestyle offers wisdom for our society.
