The VergerSummary
About a verger who succumbed to temptation.
Synopsis
About a churchman who succumbed to temptation. In St. Joseph's Church, Republic Square, there is a box at the entrance for donations for the repair of the organ. The hands of the Christians drop bills into the box, interrupted by cuts with a close–up on the face of the verger. There is a variety of consumer goods and electronics in display cases. Shop signboards, advertising banners. "How to do it? – With a supplemental loan. -– Saving pays off." The Verger robs a cash register with a picklock, then goes to court. His face blends in with the "Tartuffe 2" sign. His photograph is on fire, "well, burnt verger!"
