| Synopsis |
|
Five men from various backgrounds
attend a spiritual course in a convent.
The group consists of a candle-maker,
a politician, a prisoner of war, an
author and a thief, who joined the
convent to escape from the police.
All of the men, apart of the thief,
have a moral problem to solve. The
politician has repressed the fact
that he sacrificed three lives in
a sabotage act: he will solve his
crisis by becoming a priest. The prisoner
of war, who is ill and believed to
be dead, doesn't have the courage
to return to his wife, who remarried
while he was away. In spite of the
priest's counsel, he will leave his
wife for ever. The writer feels responsible
for the crimes committed by his readers,
but he decides to continue to publish
his books because of financial reasons.
The candle maker, who is a miser and
bigot, doesn't learn anything during
his stay, but the thief leaves the
convent sorry and redeemed. |
