Storia
In the 17th century, Father LaForgue, a French Jesuit missionary nicknamed 'Black Robe' by the natives due to his black cassock, embarks on a journey through the wilderness of Quebec accompanied by a young companion and an Algonquin Indian family. The goal is to reach a distant mission in the dead of winter. Along the way, Father LaForgue struggles to impose his Catholic rules and ideals upon the Indians who accept him warily. Meanwhile, his young companion falls in love with their Algonquin guide's daughter. Despite facing numerous challenges and adversities, including encounters with an Iroquois war party, Father LaForgue remains determined to serve God and bring Christianity to the natives.
