河北省藁城县的一个小村落里，有一座名不见经传的小小寺院。这家寺院与其他雄伟壮丽的大寺不同，它从不被认作是旅游景点。而这里的僧人却秉持着古往今来的传统，过着剥剥豆角、晒晒袈裟的闲适的修行生活……

A woman who is about to die calls the town's priest and hands him a scapulary, saying that she knows of its great powers. Anybody who does not believe in them will end up dead. 　　Great classic Mexican cinema. Its about the power of a scapular and its passage between brothers finally arriving to an old lady. As she lies in the death bed she gives the scapular to the village priest. After, the priest leaves the house he wants to go back only to find that the house had be abandoned for many years and that the lady had already been dead for some time. The movie is in black and white. It can get a little on the creepy side as well. The style in the production is not used anymore by Mexican cinema. In the 80s the production values changed. Most movies started being about drug trafficking and sexual content. This was a disregard to actual story line.
