A friar, or occasionally fray, is a member of one of the mendicant orders. "Fray" is sometimes used in former Spanish colonies such as the Philippines or the American Southwest as a title, such as in Fray Juan de Torquemada.
Friars differ from monks in that they are called to live the evangelical counsels (vows of poverty, chastity and obedience) in service to a community, rather than through cloistered asceticism and devotion. Whereas monks live in a self-sufficient community, friars work among laypeople and are supported by donations or other charitable support. A monk or nun makes their vows and commits to a particular community in a particular place. A friar in making vows commits to a community spread across a wider geographical area known as a province, and so they will typically move around, spending time in different houses of the community within his province.
In English the name Friar is probably derived from the French word frère ("brother" in English), as French was still widely used in official circles in England during the 13th century when the great orders of friars started. The French word frère in turn comes from the Latin word frater (brother), which is widely used in the Latin New Testament to refer to members of the Christian community.

Plot: The film is a story about a girl named Fra who needs to leave her hometown. Obviously it isn't easy as she has to say goodbye to everything that she loves. The technique we use to tell the story is called poly-video. It underlines Fra's inner struggle, her emotions and imagination. Thanks to poly-video we see that she is torn to many pieces. Generally speaking the film is about the problem present in modern, European society. Thanks to open borders, young people are free to go wherever they want, or wherever the job is. But making the big step requires leaving everything behind - taking a risk and going 'into the wild'. One can always stay in the safe zone but that means sacrificing their dreams.

Genres: Comedy,Sitting in a graveyard
Waiting for the dawn
Leaning on my tombstone
Till the night is gone
Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish i could find out
The reason why
I sit here alone
And cry
My woman was so lovely
Together we were one
No sunshine in my weary eyes
Now that she has gone
Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish I could find out
The reason why
I sit here alone
And cry
Palm trees whisper to me
From your spreading height
Tell me all the loney stories
Of the world at night
Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish I could find out
The reason why
I sit here alone
