- Film inspired by the novel of the same name by Georges Bernanos. A young priest arrives in a small town in northern France, where he takes charge of his first parish.

Convinced that he had failed as a pastor of souls, he suffered a profound crisis of faith. In such circumstances, he will also have to face a serious illness.
