From the film-maker:

Christ told the parable of the rich man. At his gate lay a poor man called Lazarus who was ill and hoped for charity. The poor man died and was carried to heaven, but the rich man was sent to hell at his death. In my contemporary interpretation of Teniers' painting I have portrayed the rich man as a parody of a modern-day 'rich man' by exaggerating the less desirable quirks of a money-driven banker. I have justified the rich man's descent into hell by his irresponsible driving manner and disregard for pedestrians. I was originally drawn to the painting because of the expression on the rich man's face and the devil creatures leading him to the glow of hell whilst playing their terrible tunes. These were all elements I concentrated on in my film - facial expressions, distinctive characters and unique sound design.
