God bless you, Theodore.

God bless you, Urania.

What is humanity for you?

You test us every day.

Do you love the way we love?

METEORA

The Lord is my shepherd

I will never be in need

Take me to the green fields

See what I've created with my own hands?

I'm committed to them like I'd be to my own children.

It's like bringing up children, more than just the ascetic.

Like an ascetic who sacrifices himself without conditions.

Like this I feel for my fields.

My way of living. How can I explain it?

What does this olive tree need? This corn? This tomato?

This fruit. This vegetable. All of them.

Birds like watermelon seeds.

It's beautiful.

I've forgotten many of them.

- Did a bear pass by here yesterday? - What? - Did a bear pass by?

Of course. No other animal eats figs.

I'll find out, we'll see.

Two fig trees are broken...

- We heard about it in the monastery. - Two broken fig trees.

Dunno. We'll see...

It couldn't have been a wolf?

- Or a fox? - No, no other animal eats figs.

Only bear!

God bless you.

Lead me to the still waters

Strengthen my soul

Show me the right way

lead me to paradise

Even if I walk through the darkest valley

I will fear no evil...

...for you are with me

- You added oil again! - I didn't add oil, Father!

I added love.

May the blessings be with you.

- Good evening, Georgie! - Good evening, Theodoros!

- How are you? - Alright.

Is it done?

- Everything's ready, and the oven too. - Thank you, George.

And your family?

- All well. - God grant it always be so.

- God bless you. - God bless you.

I visited the hermit today.

I tried to feed him.

In all these years I haven't seen him eating. Never.

Are you alright?

Today we celebrate St. Jakob.

There is a tale.

When St Jacob was an anchorite,

the villagers sent him a whore

to tempt him.

When she returned next day, they asked her what happened.

She didn't only tell them, she also changed her way of life

and she dedicated herself to God.

Mighty is the power of the Holy Spirit. Yes.

And then?

The story continues, no?

One day, a father brought his sick daughter and her younger brother

to the hermit.

He asked the hermit to heal her.

He healed her and asked her father

to leave the children with him for one day.

At night he raped the girl.

And then he killed them both.

To conceal his crime.

But the day after St Jacob went in the desert.

In despair, he wanted to kill himself.

But an angel appeared and said...

He said that...

The worst of all sins is despair and it is unforgivable.

The worst sin on earth, which can't be forgiven,

is despair.

What colour has your hair?

None of your business.

Of- tea- set.

What?

From Cha- I- set.

- Despair. - Despair.

From Cha- I- set.

How do they say "freedom"...

What is "freedom" in Russian?

"Svoboda"!

Oh my God!

Sea?

"More"!

Sea. Freedom. Despair.

Despair.

You prepare a meal for me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anointed my head with oil. My cup overflowed.

Lord, save your people

and bless your heritage.

'Ask, hey ask'

'Ask the shepherds ask their daughters'

'the fountains and the rocks'

- Everything's alright. - Everything's alright, yeah!

Something...

- About unrequited love... - A love song?

Which one you want... - No, you sing your favorite.

My favourite love song?

They're all about love, no?

Truly...

Your grace will support me.

Goodness and mercy shall guide me all my life

I will always rest in the house of the Lord

The Lord is my shepherd. I will never be in need.

Despair.

- Despair. - Despair.

- Freedom. - Freedom.

Freedom.
