Celine, a theology student, takes the name of Hadewijch, a 13th century mystic from Brabant, as her name for her novitiate. But shocked by the blind, ecstatic faith of Hadewijch, the mother superior tells her she must leave the convent and find her vocation in the world. Hadewijch once again becomes Celine, 20, the daughter of a French minister. She meets Yassine, a North African from the banlieues, who introduces her to his brother Nassir, a committed Muslim and religious instructor. Her passionate love of God and her despair at God's invisibility, her rage and her desire for self-sacrifice lead her, between grace and madness, off along dangerous paths.

Blind Louise finds herself in a naturist campsite which will shake up her habits.
