Diary of a Country Priest

A priest of humble origin, lost in the maze of worldiness

In the rural French community of Ambricourt, a young, ailing priest struggles to find acceptance among his parishioners, who reject his ascetic lifestyle and unsociable demeanor. His attempts to teach Bible studies at a nearby girls' school are met with constant mockery, and when he tries to intervene in a family feud, it backfires into a scandal. As his health deteriorates and his efforts repeatedly fail, his faith begins to erode.
