What happens in Vaya con Dios from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Three monks from the fictitious Cantorian Order live a quiet, music-centered life at the aging Auersberg Abbey in Brandenburg, a setting filmed at Chorin Abbey. The Cantorians speak Latin and believe that the Holy Spirit reveals itself through music, especially the human voice. This belief has brought them persecution by the Roman Catholic Church since 1693. Only two monasteries endure: one in Brandenburg and the mother house at Montecerboli in Italy. The two houses have not spoken to each other for two centuries because Auersberg kept the order’s rule, Regula cantorianorum, away from Montecerboli. When the last Abt Stefan Traugott Buhre dies, his dying directive drives the three monks to leave their home and carry the Regula cantorianorum with them to Montecerboli.
