Dagboek Van Een Herdershond

A young and unexperienced Catholic priest Erik Odekerke (Jo De Meyere) keeps a diary to record his life. He gets his first assignment in a mining town in Dutch Limburg. In the new place he has a lot of problems fitting in the social system of different classes like farmers and mine workers, and is often disapproved by his boss Father Bonhomme (Bon Storm). He is helped by his friends, an experienced colleague-kapelaan Paulus Lumens (Rudi Falkenhagen) and a protestant mine engineer Johannes de Hertog (Manfred de Graaf). His celibacy is even tempted by a girl Klaasje Weenink (Renée Soutendijk).
