Plot
Jacques Sauvage is a young French historian and Stendhal enthusiast. He fought for the French army during World War II and briefly visited the small town Varela in Umbria, Italy, in 1945. He returns to the area four years later in hope of being able to solve a mystery connected to the historically rich surroundings. The key to the mystery is a pagan festival which the locals are preparing in secret.
