The protagonist, Durtal, is drawn to a church after years of neglect, where the haunting Vespers for the Dead profoundly affects him. His journey is fueled by deep-seated family history and a yearning for meaning, ultimately leading him to explore various churches during Holy Week. The experience reveals a blend of disgust for life and a powerful connection to art and music, as he perceives the churches as both ruined palaces and desolate cemeteries, reflecting his inner turmoil and search for solace.
