A little French town during the Occupation. Barny is a young sexually frustrated widow, living with her little girl France. She is also a communist militant, and one days she enters in a church, randomly choses a priest and starts criticizing the religion. But the priest is a young handsome clever one, Leon Morin. He does not offer her the reaction she was expecting. She is disturbated. She starts frequenting him, impressed by Morin's moral strength.

"Jean-Paul Belmondo ja Emmanuelle Riva keskustelevat uskonasioista pienessä ranskalaiskylässä toisen maailmansodan tietämillä. Kyläläisten edesottamukset, Rivan ja Belmondon keskustelut sekä taustalla häärivä italiaanoista natsien kautta jenkkeihin vaihtuva miehittäjäin taho punoutuvat runsaiden häivytysleikkausten avulla vignettevyyhdiksi elämästä ja uskosta ylipäätään.
