A moving spiritual masterpiece that shows the true meaning of divinity in ahostile world A young,shy,sickly priest is assigned to his first parish,a sleepyvillage in northern France. Though his faith is devout,he finds nothingbut indifference and mockery. The children laugh at his teachings,hisparishioners are consumed by boredom,rumours are spread about him andhe is tormented by stomach pains. Even his attempts to clarify histhoughts in a diary fail to deliver him from worldly concerns. Yetsomehow,despite his suffering,he tries to find love for his fellowhumans,and even a state of grace.
