FRANCE 9 min.

Synopsis

On a moonlit fall night, a priest races to the home of Mr. Mouton, running a motorcycle off the road and arriving just in time to catch the old man as he falls from a chair on which he stacked books in order to reach a bottle of cognac. Mr. Mouton is a miser with a sock full of money that the priest would like to appropriate by selling the old man a space capsule that will take him to paradise. After a test drive and some negotiation, the deal may be struck, but then there’s a knock at the door.

Screened as part of a program showing the Academy Award-nominated animated shorts from 2007
