Infinity Burns
In the year 1600, a funny little monk is sentenced to death. His crime? Believing that the universe is infinite. With only seven days to live, he needs to convince his accusers, and anyone who will listen that the truth he experiences is valid, even though he isn't so sure it is. Infinity Burns is a tale of connection and rejection. It asks the questions of what happens when our reality is different from the norm and why reality is worth dying -- or killing -- over.
