In the early 20th century, in the Dutch province of Brabant, Dr. Tjerk van Taeke, the village doctor, has his own unique approach to medicine. Despite opposition, his methods bring significant success. However, his unconventional behavior, including befriending a local poacher, leads to conflict with village authorities, especially the mayor who wants him gone.
When one of his patients, the miller's assistant, commits suicide after seeing him, the villagers, urged by their leaders, turn against him. Despite a drunken "vigil" by some, the situation turns into a farce. Then, when Dr. van Taeke's wife unexpectedly dies, he sees no reason to stay in the village.
