Saint-Pierre, a small island off the Canadian coast, in the year 1850. Fisherman Neel Auguste (Emir Kusturica) is found guilty of murder and sentenced to death. The authorities send for a guillotine from the mainland, but while waiting for it to arrive, Neel becomes a popular member of the community, forming particularly strong bonds with his custodians, married couple Jean and Pauline (Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche). When the guillotine finally arrives the Governor insists that the sentence be carried out, but the people of the island refuse to co-operate.
