A loser for whom everything always goes wrong finds purpose in life when an entity claiming to be an angel begins ordering him to smite sinners.

The story of a peasant family in Switzerland in the eighteenth century. The father plunges his family out of jealousy into ruin. The events are hardly noticed by the village population and so he can steal clean from the affair. Nevertheless, his crimes do not go unpunished.
