Un petit monastère en Toscane, réalisé par Otar Iosseliani, est un film produit en 1988 pour La Sept et FR3.

Synopsis

Otar Iosseliani retrace la vie des moines de l'abbaye de Sant'Antimo à Castelnuovo dell'abate, à côté de Montalcino non loin de Sienne en Toscane : Père André Forest, Père Étienne Roze, Père Olivier Nelle, Frère Emmanuel Roze, Frère Jean-Charles Leroy. Le film commence par cette phrase : « Si nous voulons savoir de quelle valeur sont les biens de la Terre, considérons-les du lit de la mort : ces honneurs, ces divertissements, ces richesses nous serons enlevés un jour. Il faut conséquemment travailler à nous sanctifier et à nous enrichir des seuls liens qui nous suivent dans l'éternité » (saint Alphonse de Liguori). Ensuite un autre texte apparaît : « Ici se termine la première partie de ce film, la suite sera tournée dans une vingtaine d'années en ce même lieu et avec les mêmes personnages ».

Namir is Egyptian, a Copt and now lives in France. When there is a family reunion, he buys an old video cassette recorded many years earlier at a religious holiday in his home village, when his mother said she had had a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Namir realizes he has in his hands a very interesting subject for a documentary: he convinces his producer that it is a good idea and sets off on a journey that takes him back to his origins and puts his profession as a director to the test. However, he has not reckoned with his mother, the real protagonist of the story. Eventually, in her hometown, they recreate an apparition with the help of the other villagers.

Dans les bars de Tel Aviv, la nuit, la réalisatrice demande à des jeunes Juifs s'ils auraient des relations sexuelles avec des Arabes, et à des jeunes Arabes s'ils feraient l'amour avec des Juifs. Chacun donne son avis, avec plus ou moins d'explications, sur le symbole que cela peut représenter pour eux (beaucoup l'ont déjà fait) ou au contraire leur refus. Des jeunes issus de familles mixtes (un parent juif, l'autre arabe) sont également interviewés. Le film recueille aussi les témoignages du journaliste Gideon Levy et de l'acteur Juliano Mer-Khamis, de mère juive et de père arabe, assassiné en 2011 par des Palestiniens à Jénine.
