Симон волхв
Director of Photography
В ХIХ веке для маленького еврейского городка в Польше появление железной дороги стало последней каплей, переполнившей чашу всеобщего терпения: мало того, что на полях неурожай, а в умах односельчан растет неверие, так еще и торговля идет из рук вон плохо. Зачем путешественникам останавливаться в их городке, если можно проехать мимо на поезде? Бедный Саймон, юродивый, иногда выполняющий несложные поручения за кусок хлеба или рыбу, становится для всех козлом отпущения. Его винят во всех бедах, да и сам он уверен, что получает инструкции к действию от самого дьявола. Но настоящее зло таится в голове Хэйза, богатого дельца и чужака — христианина, который хочет построить железнодорожную станцию и использует Саймона в своих корыстных целях.
