LA NEUVAINE
NOVENA, THE
Jeanne drives aimlessly through the night, with no particular destination. A doctor, haunted by the murder of one of her female patients and her daughter, which she feels she could have helped to prevent, she is eaten away by a feeling of guilt which stops her from getting on with her life. François, a serene young man, lives with his dying grandmother. Knowing her death is imminent, he decides to undertake a novena. For nine days he prays to Sainte Anne to give his grandmother a little more time. The two protagonists, totally alone in their misfortune, meet by the riverside, in the village of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. François gentle ways help Jeanne to gradually start enjoying life again, and he persuades her to come and look after his grandmother.
