Plot.
Andreas, nephew of the abbot of the Monastery of Dionysios, who died eight years previously, arrives at Agion Oros (Mount Athos) with a team of smugglers of antiquities, with the intention of stealing a gold cross set with precious gems, known as the Cross of Alexander the Great. He earns the trust of the meek and hospitable monks. However, a Jewish girl, Anna - whom, while still a baby during the war, her father had entrusted to the care of the hermit Vasileios - continues to pretend she is a young monk. She manages gradually to discover the entire scheme and acts to foil their plot.

Wiki.
The Greek film Brother Anna was directed by Grigris Grigorou. Brother Anna was the victim of censorship. John Norman spent a lot of time on Mount Athos. The scenario is a result of his investigation into sexual abuse and paedophilia. The plot of the Jewish child hidden during the war was greatly cut. The result is a film that is incomplete and sometimes conflicting.
