Satan has a problem: God has come to the conclusion that it is unfair to send souls to hell if they are fundamentally incapable of living a righteous life on earth. If this is the case, then hell will be shut down. Satan is given the chance to prove that human beings are capable of salvation if he agrees to live as a human being and demonstrate that it is possible to live a righteous life.

"This folklorish rendering of peasant life is full of knowing details."-Rain Taxi
