In a story that hops around a little, a priest arrives in a village to go from person to person offering his own form of consolation or advice. On his list of "clients" is a former Communist Party official who is now wheelchair-bound because of a sniper's bullet during the 1956 uprising; a woman dying of tuberculosis; an astronomer who sings with a punk rock group; a woman who leaves her soldier-husband to work in a nightclub; and their son. As these people suffer through personal travails, a surprise is in store for everyone -- the priest is not exactly who he seems to be.
