The story revolves around the unexpected arrival of Saint Anthony, who claims he has come to resurrect Mademoiselle Hortense, a wealthy but recently deceased woman. The play is set in a mundane Flemish household during a funeral, highlighting the stark contrast between the miraculous and the ordinary. In the narrative, Saint Anthony enters a home where the relatives and friends of the deceased are preparing for her funeral. Initially met with skepticism and annoyance from the living, especially from her greedy nephews Gustave and Achille, Saint Anthony insists on reviving Mademoiselle Hortense. The absurdity unfolds as Hortense is resurrected, only to express her disdain for the situation in a comical twist. The guests quickly shift from gratitude to indignation when they realize Hortense’s return to life comes with restrictions, including her inability to speak, which leaves them disillusioned about the true nature of miracles. The play ends in a wave of irony, as Hortense dies once more, reinforcing the idea that true miracles might lie beyond human understanding and expectations.
