Synopsis

A knight, Antonius Block, and his squire Jöns are back from the Crusades. The Plague reigns. Block encounters Death and challenges her to a game of chess. This game of existential passion is the humanity of its characters, who seem to avoid allegory as a sort of narrative death: Block, away from the real-the only proof of God; Jöns, cynical sensualist who articulates the void; Death herself, a picture of inconclusiveness; and the dreamer Jof and his wild-strawberry wife.
