The Last Supper

Pawel Huelle
Tr. Antonia Lloyd-Jones

Nothing that requires a lot of explanation is perfect, replied Berdo decisively. So perhaps the best definition of faith is a medicine? As the prophet says: God did not create a suffering without also creating some remedy against it. Such a remedy is faith. Or at least that is how I understand it.

In late middle age, an artist wants a picture from which to paint a rendition of the Last Supper. He gathers twelve of his friends from his youth and has them pose at a table in a theater on an empty stage. Pawl Huelle's Last Supper is painted of the memories and stories of some of these men as they come together again.
