ThĂ©rèse, who has come from the city, has married the sad Louis Raboux, a violent peasant who dies under unclear circumstances. ThĂ©rèse stays at the farm with CĂ©lestin, who loves her, but dares not say it out of shyness. The arrival of Pierre, who knew Louis and has something to hide, complicates the situation. CĂ©lestin’s jealousy, which the maid Julia tries to console. ThĂ©rèse and Pierre’s passionate love. The police arrest the young man and CĂ©lestin chases ThĂ©rèse, who falls from the roof. CĂ©lestin throws the body into an abyss, only to see Pierre reappear. In a rage, he too rushes into the ravine, from which ThĂ©rèse emerges, a new miracle-worker, ready to throw herself into the arms of her lover.
