Produced by the National Film Board of Canada with the cooperation of the Benedictine Monastery of Saint-Benoît-du-Lac, Québec.

In the quiet confines of their monastery at Saint-Benoît-du-Lac, Québec, Benedictine monks pursue their life of prayer, service and devotion. In the fields they till the soil and gather the harvest. They turn to prayer and meditation, to philosophic study, research and artistic work that enriches the cultural life of their country.
