Synopsis: "Chronicles the experiences of a man who decides that there is nothing of any value in the world. Slipping into nihilism with the "terrible anguish" he is determined to commit suicide. A chance encounter with a young girl, however, begins the man on a journey that re-instills a love for his fellow man." (Wikipedia) After meeting the girl, he is plagued with guilt and has a vivid dream in which he shoots himself, is taken by an angel to a distant planet that is a utopia, and is responsible for the corruption of that utopia. After awakening he vows to make heaven on earth a reality.
