A Benedictine monk conflicted by questions of faith and purpose, a sullen girl of nineteen who is struggling to define herself, and a thirty-something woman seeking refuge from a troubled relationship with her boyfriend meet at a monastery retreat. The dynamics of their relationships impact their private searches for meaning and identity as the rituals of everyday life create an aura of quiet, contemplative strength. Since winning the Saskatchewan Showcase Award for best student film in 1993, Robin Schlaht has made three documentary films. Solitude is his first dramatic feature.
