Blaise Pascal's career was a fascinating adventure in knowledge. The demonstration of the existence of atmospheric pressure, the invention of the calculation of probabilities, the creation of the calculating machine… his discoveries revolutionised 17th century science. Just like the writing of his Pensées (“Thoughts”), which undoubtedly form his most universal literary, philosophical and spiritual heritage. But Pascal was also an adventurer in the inner life, for whom the risk of hope and the fruitful virtue of humility were incumbent upon every human being.

Within him, the scientist, the philosopher and the Christian come together to shed light on our human condition. This documentary invites us to meet a man of spirit, faith and heart on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of his birth.
