Somewhere in the middle of nowhere there is a house stuck in the 20th century. Will (Winston Duke), the resident of the house, is a kind of guardian angel responsible for human souls. He sends them to live in human incarnation. On the screens of tube TVs, he watches their lives, writes everything on cassettes, writes notes and keeps archives. Nothing bodes the ill, but one of his wards, his pride, dies under strange circumstances. Was it suicide and, if so, what did he overlook? Why did he send a soul that hadn't coped with life? Did he make the wrong choice? He doubts if his previous approach of choosing souls was correct. He tried to choose the kindhearted ones, but maybe it wasn't right?
And now he has to interview applicants for a new birth...
The film, however, does not provide clear answers about which of the two lines of behavior is correct. Everyone decides for themselves. There can't be a right answer, actually. But the fact that overly kind people often fail to cope with the cruelty of life is a sad truth. The author of the article has repeatedly witnessed such situations and can say that, in this case, the task of the "strong" person is to protect the "weak" one. Because what would the world be like if there were no kindness in it?
