How to Live Together offers a rare glimpse into the cloistered life of a small community of monks residing in the St. George Monastery, just outside Berlin. The film captures the day-to-day routines, the rituals, and the palpable sense of isolation that defines their existence. It’s not flashy, which I kind of like—there's a raw honesty to the pacing, letting you absorb the environment rather than rush through it. The cinematography beautifully contrasts the serene yet austere landscape with the youthful energy of the monks, most of them in their twenties. That tension between youth and solitude creates a unique atmosphere, making it feel almost like a meditation on faith and community.
