Mariette Baptiste, a well-educated seventeen-year-old girl from a good family, crosses the threshold of a monastery as a novice. The girl’s passionate faith makes an impression both on the nuns and the prioress. The monotonous monastic life, usually spent on prayers and household work, falls completely under the influence of Mariette’s mystical experiences: intensive, perilous, and fateful - for her as well.
