Un jeune homme, inanimé et nu, est découvert sur une plage par le curé d’un village de la côte bretonne. Conduit au presbytère et examiné par le médecin qui le déclare indemne et en bonne santé, l’homme reprend connaissance, incapable de dire comment il s’appelle tout en prétendant venir d’un autre monde, sans toutefois pouvoir préciser d’où exactement. Le curé héberge celui qu’il nomme « Jean », se référant au jour saint où il l’a découvert. Jean crée l’émoi dans le village en fonction des croyances et des préjugés de ses habitants : est-ce un ange tombé du ciel, un illuminé ou un imposteur ? Son comportement, simple et altruiste, mais inhabituel dans un monde où tout doit être productif, suscite d’abord la curiosité, puis la méfiance et enfin la haine, ce qui l’amène à être finalement pourchassé par les villageois jusqu’au bord d’une falaise d’où il se jette dans le vide et d’où surgit un oiseau qui disparaît dans le ciel.
