A man named Kuzman is sentenced to death by a nomadic tribe, but their attempts to fatally shoot the condemned man are a failure. Fated to live forever, he wanders the wasteland until he encounters an enigmatic figure who offers him information on how he can escape eternal life. *****The second story is a three-minute segment that takes place in 1900. Presented as a record of the first wedding ceremony ever captured on film, the scene devolves into violence when it is discovered the newlyweds are actually brother and sister. ******The third story takes place on New Year's Eve 1999.
