The narrative unfolds around a miraculous appearance of the Virgin, who reveals herself as Our Lady of Tears to two children on a desolate hill, coinciding with the eve of the Festival of Our Lady of Seven Dolours. Her sorrowful presence brings forth reproofs and warnings, drawing thousands to the treacherous location. Amidst this fervor, the characters encounter a fearsome sight, including a liquid serpent named "Le Drac," adding a chilling dimension to the already intense atmosphere of the event.
