Jacques, the famous reporter of a daily French newspaper, receives a mysterious phone call from the Vatican. In a small town in the southeast of France, an 18-year-old girl claims to have seen the appearance of the Virgin Mary. Hearing spreads quickly, the phenomenon acquires such a magnitude that thousands of pilgrims flock to the place of the alleged phenomenon. Jacques, far from religion, agrees to join the commission of inquiry to shed light on these events.
