The project examines the concept of the Christian sacrament - the forgiveness of sins. The authors invite festival visitors to plunge into the chaos of worldly life, finding themselves in the place of a witness to the confession of sins, taking on an unusual role for a person without church dignity. The visitor will hear confessions generated by a neural network from a database of dialogues from films and books collected by the authors, where the heroes tell their innermost secrets and share their experiences.
