Thirty-four Benedictine monks from St. Ottilien Abbey near Munich gather in front of the old station building for a group photo. Over a hundred years ago, the corrugated iron hut with its station sign was the departure and arrival point for the monks of the missionary order.
The film was made in 2023 during an artist-in-residence stay at the monastery. The accompanying music was written by Israeli composer Eliav Kohl, who spent time in St. Ottilien as an artist-in-residence two years before Brech.
