An adaptation of Zola's novel by one of the world's most idiosyncratic and fascinating directors.
Serge Mouret is a frail and devout young priest in a tough country parish. The locals have little interest in religion and the church is empty most of the time. The experience of living in such a heathen community drives Mouret to have a nervous breakdown. When he falls down and loses his memory, he is nursed back to health by Albine, the beautiful carefree niece of the outspoken atheist Jeanbernat. After Serge and Albine fall in love, Serge recovers his memory and realizes the grave sin he has committed...
