A man has gone into church to go to confession, but he discovers that he is about to become a victim of a homicide. In the effort to save himself, he reveals to his confessor-assassin that he himself had killed someone in the past, only to be pursued by the ghost of the victim.
"'One cannot control what is beyond our control.' This film is a playful and, I hope, amusing meditation on this axiom that is near Zen thought" (R. Eltanal).
