Jacques (Vincent Lindon), a journalist with a reputation as an impartial investigator, is recruited by the Vatican to determine the legitimacy of a saintly apparition in a small French village. Upon his arrival, he meets the young and sensitive Anna, who claims to have witnessed an apparition of the Virgin Mary. Confronted with opposing views from all sides, Jacques gradually uncovers the truth and finds his belief system profoundly shaken.
