Plot summary

Sanctuarium is a sacred place we can find within ourselves. One of such places can be found physically in Tallinn’s Old Town, known as the Ukrainian Cultural Center. There we also can meet its Founder. He is a monk. He gets up in the morning, prays, feeds domestic animals and gets to work.
Visitor-children come to pay a visit. He entertains them and feed. Also, later he himself with others in the place have a common meal, trapeza. Later in the day, other visitors, this time participants of the Black Nights Film Festival come for a visit, learning more about the place which includes a Church and a publishing house. Also, the Sanctuarium hosts a scriptorium where one can learn the ancient art of calligraphia. The day ends and we're now back to modern world chaos.
