Onetime campus radical Nanni Moretti (who also directed this film) renounces his past to become a priest. Returning to his home village, Moretti is appalled at the lack of religious reverence amongst the townsfolk. Unable to communicate with any of his old friends, who've all gleefully succumbed to the Deadly Sins, Moretti cannot even count on solace from his own family, a screwed-up aggregation which gives the word "dysfunctional" several new meanings. The priest finally gives up on the village and transfers to a parish far, far away.（曾经的校园激进分子纳尼·莫雷蒂（他也是这部电影的导演）放弃了自己的过去，成为了一名牧师。回到家乡，莫雷蒂对当地居民缺乏宗教信仰感到震惊。莫雷蒂无法与任何一位老朋友交流，他们都高兴地屈从于致命的罪恶，他甚至无法指望来自自己家庭的慰藉，这是一个混乱的集合，赋予了“功能失调”一词几个新的含义。牧师最终放弃了村庄，搬到了很远很远的教区。）
