Synopsis
The Arges Monastery in Romania features a legend about a pregnant woman immured within its walls to ensure their stability. This belief connects to the concept of the “stahie,” or shadow, which suggests that a building requires a physical or metaphysical sacrifice for its strength. The film reflects on these themes, intertwining personal fears and possibilities with the ancient practices surrounding the monastery. It draws from research conducted in 2018, expanding on the legend's significance.
