Beyond the Hills is the third feature from Romanian director Cristian Mungiu, and his first since winning the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2007 for 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days.  Alina and Voichita are two young women in their mid-twenties. Old friends who grew up together in an orphanage, they reunite over a weekend. Alina has come back to Romania from Germany and wants Voichita to return with her. But Voichita is reluctant to leave the monastery where she lives with a dozen other women and a lone priest believing she’s found a cure for crippling loneliness, God.
