Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Two actors performing in Strindberg's "Inferno" as God and Lucifer are also competitors in real life. One of them, Henrique, is spiritually-obsessed with John Wayne and his way of walking. He and de Dieu, his fellow actor who plays Lucifer and also directs the Strindberg play, engage in a philosophical and spiritual tug-of-war, especially when they meet an author named God who has plans for another drama to feature both actors.
