When revolutionary troops arrive at their remote mountain monastery, the young monk Gabriel is forced to choose between his duty and his freedom.

When revolutionary troops arrive at their remote mountain monastery, the young monk Gabriel is forced to choose between his duty and his freedom.


Far from the epicenter of the French Revolution, the monastery in Provence is seized by the revolutionary troops. The new concepts Gabriel learns through the forced cohabitation between monks and soldiers do not leave him cold. He has to make a decision between the old and the new.
