Tolérance

The story of a monk (Rupert Everett) who was expelled by the church and his story thereafter. He finds sanctuary on a small estate owned by a man named Marmant (Ugo Tognazzi), who dreams of starting an academy of gastronomy. Marmant's young wife Tolerance (Anne Brochet) welcomes the austere monk with open arms, but tensions with the nobleman increase day by day. Conflicts and alliances form and re-form within the stately residence... until the monk reveals himself to be much less than the pious man he portrayed on his arrival. (official distributor synopsis)
