Synopsis

Hadewijch (Julie Sokolowski), a young novice Sister, is a fanatic Christian making herself suffer by fasting and standing in the winter rain. The Mother Superior (Brigitte Mayeux-Clergot) expels her deeming her blind faith dangerous. She becomes Céline again, daughter of a Parisian diplomat. She meets a young man named Yassine (played by Yassine Salim), but tells him that she cannot fall in love with him because she is in love with Jesus; she is still a virgin and planning to stay that way.

« Le gars » (comme l'appelle le générique) campe seul aux abords d'un village, dans un paysage de dunes et de marécages. Il ne semble avoir qu'une amie, « la fille », une jeune fille d'une ferme avoisinante, douce et sobrement habillée en « gothique ». Celle-ci se fait abuser sexuellement par son beau-père (croit-on comprendre), et lui demande protection. Au début du film, il tue ce beau-père de sang froid. Mystique qui prie au milieu de la nature, cet ermite est aussi exorciste : une mère le sollicite pour guérir sa fille qui semble habitée par le démon.

The Catholic Jean-Louis, (Jean-Louis Trintignant), runs into an old friend, the Marxist Vidal (Antoine Vitez), in Clermont-Ferrand around Christmas. Vidal introduces Jean-Louis to the modestly libertine, recently divorced Maud (Françoise Fabian) and the three engage in conversation on religion, atheism, love, morality and Blaise Pascal's life and writings on philosophy, faith and mathematics. Jean-Louis ends up spending a night at Maud's. Jean-Louis' Catholic views on marriage, fidelity and obligation make his situation a dilemma, as he has already, at the very beginning of the film, proclaimed his love for a young woman whom, however, he has never yet spoken to.
