A poem in four parts: guilt, lies, nuclear reactor, faith. Four stories and four observations accompanied by images which appear to come from the subconscious and organ music. Guilt has existed ever since the apple in the Garden of Eden and has been rationalized by civil and ecclesiastical law. But should you feel guilty if you have been to bed with your mother? And which population 'deserves' a nuclear bomb because of its guilt? The lie comes in a wide variety of guises, some even amusing. The most horrifying is the shepherd lying to his flock, because supposedly they aren't yet ready for the truth. Masturbation machines can have disastrous consequences. Nuclear reactors on an incomparably larger scale, but they still shoot up like mushrooms. A robot kills a worker. Faith.
