Simon of the Desert

Sacrifice and Temptation

A surreal, darkly comic meditation on faith, temptation, and the absurdity of religious extremism, told through the battle between a saint atop a pillar and the Devil's increasingly bizarre seductions.

Simon, a deeply religious man living in the 4th century, wants to be nearer to God so he climbs a column. The Devil wants him come down to Earth and is trying to seduce him.
