Description

A former senior official, Sergey Vanin, wants freedom. Real freedom, though, is only given by money—and a lot of it. Calculating, slippery, tenacious, he never gives up what he considers his, and he pursues his goal regardless of any circumstances. But is there a price for betrayal? Can you buy the love of your loved ones? Having almost everything a mortal can dream of, Vanin receives a strange gift: an unknown artist paints, on the wall, a copy of Leonardo’s “Last Supper” in his fireplace room. Sick and delirious, Vanin sees from the painting as Judas steps down and talks with him. But even after Vanin recovers, Judas doesn’t disappear—he remains with him as a secret adviser, an alter ego. Who is he? The voice of conscience, the tempter, or an apostle who betrayed Christ? What is Judas pursuing, taking from the hidden corners of Vanin’s memory the facts he has carefully tried to forget…
