Description
A collection of films inspired by reading Dante's Inferno. A traveler finds himself lost in the middle of life's journey, uncertain whether he can find a way out. The films constitute an implicit glorification of God's ways and a protest against the manner in which humans (ancient and modern) have thwarted the divine plan. They express anguish in the face of injustice and corruption of their time.
