Synopsis
A man and woman receive divine visits predicting their deaths and afterlife destinations, then choose whether to accept fate or escape it.
Sometimes shortly before a person dies, an angel appears before them to inform them of their imminent death, as well as whether they are bound for Heaven or Hell. A man and a woman, one bound for Heaven and the other for Hell, each receive a visit. Knowing that their time in this realm is soon over, they each have a choice: accept their fate, or attempt to escape it and live on, even though the sin of running away carries a great price.
