What on earth could possibly connect a handful of Orthodox nuns with kung fu, the Soviet Union and Black Sabbath? Of course, it’s the most absurd and irreverent martial arts film of recent memory, one that features a Soviet border guard, a hippie, a rocker, and a Bruce Lee enthusiast seeking refuge in a monastery inhabited by Shaolin monks. He grapples with the pursuit of divine enlightenment and the arduous path to sainthood, all the while contending with the persistent allure of a woman. Amidst this, a perpetual rivalry with the monastery's favored individual lurks in the shadows like stealthy ninjas, poised for an imminent showdown of righteousness. A showdown accompanied by (metal) music, fasting, and prayer. The film is like an (un)Orthodox Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon whose arrival no one could have predicted.
