Jasminum

(Jasminum)

Jasminum (Latin for jasmine) is Kolski’s eleventh feature film. The plot is set in a monastery in present times. Prior Kleofas and Brother Sanitas live there with three other monks named after their respective body odors: Plum, Cherry and Birdcherry. The prior is determined to find portents of the soon-to-come fulfillment of Barnabas’ Prophecy. One day, a young art restorer named Natasha arrives at the monastery, commissioned with restoration of sacred paintings. She brings along Gienia, her five year old daughter whose charm and inquiring mind wreak havoc in the monks’ monotonous life. This is a mysterious and magical story.
