Story: |
Jeanne is a doctor. She feels responsible for the death of a patient and her baby,
killed by a violent husband. Desperate, she leaves Montreal and drives through the
night. At dawn, she stops near the Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre sanctuary. She wants
to jump from the village pier into the river, but she is stopped by a young man
who has come to pray for his dying grandmother. Something about Francois
touches Jeanne - but not his faith, which repels her. Still, she is sensitive to the
mysterious young man's simplicity. Francois convinces Jeanne to come to his
village to care for his grandmother. But the situation is hopeless and the old
woman dies in her grandson's arms. The grandmother's calm, peaceful death
helps Jeanne come to terms with existence.
