Summary

The film painting is a simultaneous whole to be retro-lit, its material is taken from biblical laconism: Herod marries his brother's wife, Herodias, mother of Salome. John the Baptist condemns this union and is imprisoned by Herod, who nevertheless fears eliminating him given the reputation of the prophet. At a banquet that Herod offered to his hosts, Salome performs a dance that exalts the generosity of Herod ready to perform under word in front of his hosts, a wish to Salome. Herodias advises him to ask for the head of John the Baptist.
