It follows Jean Barois, a devout Catholic who discovers historical flaws in the Gospels and gradually loses his faith, separating from his religious wife.

As he ages and faces death, Barois confronts disillusionment with political exploitation of idealism and struggles with the terrifying possibility of his final moments contradicting his lifelong convictions.
