Dis-moi pourquoi ces choses sont si belles

Brother Marie-Victorin befriends his student, Marcelle Gauvreau. Both have had near-death experiences and share the same love for God and nature. Later, she becomes his collaborator. In a correspondence that lasts until the death of Marie-Victorin, they explore human desires and "biology unveiled." This great chaste love, along with their love for Quebec's flora, leads Antoine and Roxane, who portray them on screen, to question their own relationship with love and nature.
