A Parisian museum director believes his wife has lost interest in him and so places a poisoned cigarette in the box on his desk - thus allowing chance to decide the moment of his death.
Obsessed with a general's woman, a clergyman has strange visions of death and lust, struggling against his own eroticism. 本片以超现实的手法刻画一个迷上将军妻子的牧师，身负神圣的职责却挣扎于对性的欲望，而产生奇异的幻想。因有损神职形象和反宗教崇拜倾向，被禁止公映。
