A morally earnest historical drama about a priest's principled stand against systemic injustice, grounded in the suffering of industrial workers and the conflict between faith and institutional power.

Father Daens returns to Aalst, where workers suffer from poverty, child labor, and exploitation in the textile industry. Driven by his sense of justice, he takes their side, even if it means confronting the church and the upper class. A detailed historical drama about the fight for justice.
