Vivant avec leur famille dans un petit bourg campagnard du centre de la France nommé « Malevil », le maire, le pharmacien, des cultivateurs, commerçants, une vieille femme et un simple d'esprit se réunissent dans une grande cave viticole pour débattre d'un banal sujet administratif, un beau jour ensoleillé à la fin de l'été. Soudain, le petit poste de radio qu'écoute le benêt ne capte plus aucune fréquence. Quelques instants plus tard, une considérable explosion retentit ainsi qu'un violent et long éclair qu'ils aperçoivent sous la porte d'entrée. Le bruit, la chaleur intense, l'humidité qui suinte des murs les assomment tous.

The philosopher Denis Diderot, one of the modernists of the French 18th-century Age of Enlightenment movement, is a guest at the château of the Baron d'Holbach. The film depicts the Baron (in reality a major sponsor of Diderot) as a benign host and inventor of amusing machines, including a piganino. Diderot's banned Encyclopédie is being secretly set up, printed and bound in a crypt beneath the chapel, where the noise of the presses is masked by the playing of an organ.
