SYNOPSIS

Pierre Lumens, in his fifties, is a broken man. Since a widower he is impervious to the surrounding world and to people, he is bitter and he is a nihilist. Pierre Lumens has no other passion in his life than his work: art restoring.
One day he is asked to restore an old crucifix. A strange and paradoxical relation (attraction-repulsion) arises between him and the object. But it brings Lumens, after unconscious resistance, back to humanity, to pity and maybe to piety.
