Synopsis
Thomas est un toxicomane de vingt-deux ans. Pour guérir de sa dépendance à l'héroïne, il rejoint une communauté d'anciens jeunes drogués qui lui proposent un changement de vie radical pour le sortir de la drogue notamment en le privant de cigarettes, d'alcool, de télévision mais aussi en l'isolant du monde extérieur et des filles. Désormais, pour redevenir un jeune homme normal, il devra se soigner par la prière et le travail. Dans ce nouveau monde, il découvre l'amour, l'amitié et la foi. Égaré en montagne, il se retrouve miraculeusement et décide de se faire ordonner prêtre. Mais, sur la route du séminaire, il décide finalement de rejoindre Sibylle, la jeune fille avec qui il a eu une brève aventure.Actors

L'histoire se déroule dans les années 1950-1955 dans une mission lointaine de Guinée, alors sous administration francaise. Le jeune prêtre missionnaire Jean Maurel arrive à sa première mission, celle d'Affob, dirigée par le père Gauthier, spiritain en apparence effacé et rêveur, tandis qu'il s'agit de préparer l'avenir d'une Afrique confrontée aux nouveaux défis. Le jeune père Maurel au bout de quelque temps d'acclimatation réalise enfin son rêve, celui d'être responsable d'un secteur de mission dans la brousse. Il admire son confrère le père Derval, de dix ans plus âgé, qui lui paraît le modèle du « broussard » à qui semble tout réussir. Mais bientôt le jeune homme se confronte aux tentations de l'Afrique profonde et mystérieuse ; sentiment de ne pas être à sa place et d'être inutile, alors qu'il doit s'habituer à de longs palabres avec les chefs de village, se confronter avec les peurs et superstitions des autochtones, les mariages forcés et le temps immobile. Entre découragements et découvertes, il va apprendre au fil des années à aimer les qualités et les défauts de ces populations et traverse des périodes de profondes joies partagées, jusqu'au jour où, atteint de fièvre bilieuse, il est rappelé pour se soigner en France métropolitaine. Il a trente-cinq ans et doit faire le bilan de sa vie de missionnaire qu'il juge ne pas avoir réussie. Mais ayant expérimenté la communion des saints, il comprend que la question n'est pas la réussite humaine et connaît une véritable conversion.
