An elderly alchemist by the name of Henri Faust retires from teaching at a university, disappointed that, even after fifty years of diligent study, he is no closer to discovering the secrets of nature than when he started a half century before. Enter Mephistopholes, Satan's agent, who appears to Faust one evening and offers him the chance to relive his life and "try again". Faust is justifiably reluctant to accept the offer, but then finds himself transformed into a young man. Although delighted with his newfound youth, Henri still refuses to sign the expected pact with the Devil, which will eventually take his soul. But, in the end, will Faust's morality and virtues prevail, or will Mephistopheles' offers prove too tempting to resist?

Le mythe de Faust revisité par le réalisme poétique français... Au seuil de la mort, le professeur d'université Faust est plein de regrets. Méphistophélès lui propose alors un pacte : vendre son âme en échange de la jeunesse et de la richesse, il lui montrera aussi l'avenir.
