La vita e il coraggio di don Primo Mazzolari ( 1890-1959) in un film che descrive, anche con le immagini dell'epoca, la vita della campagna lombarda fra le due guerre. Un profeta della pace e dei diritti dei poveri, che si oppose al fascismo rischiando la vita, subendo carcere e attentati, e attirandosi le ripetute condanne dell'autorità ecclesiastica per la sua lettura radicale del Vangelo, fino alla piena riabilitazione da parte di Giovanni XXIII pochi giorni prima della morte. Il film, nato da un'idea di Ennio Chiodi e Gilberto Squizzato, inserisce organicamente nel racconto le autentiche immagini di archivio dell'epoca (i filmati dell'Istituto Luce e di Combat film) per descrivere i fatti storici e le condizioni di vita del tempo, dalla vita dei contadini padani alle lotte della Resistenza.
