I'm tired of posting war videos. This is a film channel. I am not interested in creating polemics, just on publishing interesting films or videos that do not usually appear on the media. I am for peace. So here is a beautiful, peaceful film, to forget the horrors of war.

"The Island" is a 2006 Russian biographical film about a 20th century Eastern Orthodox monk. Pyotr Mamonov, who plays the lead character, formerly a rock musician in the USSR, converted to Eastern Orthodoxy in the 1990s and lives now in an isolated village. Film director Pavel Lungin said about him that "to a large extent, he played himself." Mamonov was first very hesitant to play in the film, but then was urged by his confessor to play the character. After the filming, one of the movie crew staff decided to stay on the island and live there as a hermit.
