Padre Nazario (Francisco Rabal) wishes to live a life of modesty and quiet devotion in pre-Revolutionary Mexico, ministering to the poor and living ascetically. But he attracts first one disciple, his mentally unstable neighbor Beatriz (Marga Lopez), and then another, hotheaded prostitute Andara (Rita Macedo). Events conspire to drive the three out of their hometown and into itinerant begging, with Nazario gaining a mistaken reputation for miracle working, and trouble following everywhere they go.
