400 years ago, in Japan, a revolutionary art was born and would influence the greatest Western artists of the late nineteenth century, the Ukiyo-E "floating images of the world." A wonderful trip in a world of beauty and discovery. The concept and objectives of this documentary are, on the one hand, to show, teach and discover Japanese art (Japanese stamps and prints) and, on the other hand, to demonstrate the influence of Japanese stamps on Western modern art, showing in comparison some of the Most famous paintings (impressionism or paintings by Van Gogh).

Abbé Donato believed he could live a quiet little life, far from all temptation, in the village of Sainte-Urulle, well placed in the race for the title of asshole of the civilized world. For temptation is something he would do well to be wary of, he who, beneath his cassock, hides a body made for the pleasures of love. Pleasures that the Baroness de Bailleux, a young nymphomaniac aristocrat, has nevertheless decided to introduce him to. Having fallen under her spell, the clergyman discovers that she is also the muse of a Satanist priest who officiates in a neighboring town, Canon Debruges, and, incidentally, the mistress of a psychiatrist who is a member of the Gilles de Rais fan club. Having become the baroness and the canon's plaything, the abbot enters a downward spiral that will take him to the limits of morality and even madness.
