Plot:
Nobody escapes the changes in the seasons which give rhythm to our existence, from birth to death. Two monks who share their hermitage, surrounded by mountains, do not escape this either. Every moment of their lives is experienced with an intensity which leads them towards greater spirituality, and a terrible tragedy. Observed by the elder, the younger monk experiences the seasons.
