Synopsis
An old shoemender, Monsieur Pascal, sits on a bench outside a church and dreams of his younger life. Next to him is a giant crucifix. Conscious of his own lack of freedom, he decides to liberate the tortured figure, and thus transforms the world around him. In his reverie, the most audacious miracles become possible, and the shoemaker sees the very human face of his Savior.
