Plot



A group of people, to try to make sense of their existence, retreats to a convent because each has problems considered insurmountable: a war veteran who is given up for dead returns from captivity in a sensational way and once home he finds his wife married and happy with another man; a partisan, during a war action, causes the death of three people; a votive candle dealer is too selfish to practice his trade. Then a writer famous for his production of works for adults arrive at the convent through which, according to many detractors, he corrupts many young minds, and a young priest who, dismayed by such a tumult of souls, is seized by mistrust regarding his vocation. At the end of the stay, everyone will leave, both those strengthened in their convictions and those who remain with their character and decide to continue their previous life.
