Description Set in the near future, Ariel Sharon, arrives in Hell where he meets a pope and a carpenter building coffins. In an afterlife that is frequently and mysteriously punctuated by train announcements, falling buildings and sacred music, the three men make an attempt to unravel why they are there. In doing so they enter into a discourse that re-examines the notion of historical truth.
