The Cathedral

Director:
Denis Dobrovoda

For 60 years, with no help or architectural expertise, a former monk builds a gigantic cathedral using waste and recycled materials. He works mostly alone, without ever drawing a single sketch, while his community labels him a madman. Now at the age of 96, he has to try to save his illegal cathedral from demolition.
