In 1996, in Algeria, eight French monks of The Monastery Notre-Dame de l'Atlas of Tibhirine have a simple life serving the poor community that was raised around the monastery. During the Algerian Civil War, they are threatened by terrorist but they decide to stay in the country and not return to France.
One night, the extremists break in the monastery and abduct seven monks. A couple of months later, they are found dead in controversial circumstances.
"Des hommes et des dieux" is a film based on a true story and supported by top-notch performances. The official and non-official versions of the death of the Tibhirine priests can be found in Internet. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Homens e Deuses" ("Men and Gods")
