Based on a novel by Georges Bernanos, the film depicts a frustrated young priest living in the country with hostile parishioners. Focusing on the human behavior, instead of creating a dramatic record of the priest's daily routine, Bresson searches for the interior truth that reveals itself through subtle behavioral and facial expressions. The cinematography (L.H. Burel) is imbued with a somber mood, matching the protagonist's subjective world view.
