The story, freely inspired by "After me the deluge" by David Forrest, narrates the adventures of Don Silvestro, parish priest of a mountain village, who one day receives an unexpected phone call: God himself tasks him with building a new ark to face the imminent second universal flood. Don Silvestro, helped by his fellow villagers, succeeds in his undertaking, despite the greedy mayor Crispino who will try to hinder him in every way and the arrival of Consolazione, a woman of easy virtue, who will put the men of the town to the test.

Once the ark is finished, at the time of boarding, a cardinal sent from Rome intervenes and convinces the people of the town not to follow Don Silvestro who, according to him, dishonors the dress he wears. The flood begins, only Don Silvestro and Clementina, the mayor's young daughter madly in love with him, are found on the ark. The water begins to submerge the villagers, Don Silvestro decides to abandon the ark, a safe refuge, to share that terrible moment with his faithful. An infinite gesture of love. Then God, seeing his plan fail, interrupts the flood and sets up the rainbow. It ends on a festive table celebrating the return to serenity blessed by God.
