Synopsis: Outside a metaphorical door representing society, a minor scuffle turns sour resulting in violence. With blood on his hands and clothes, Debitus is unable to regain admittance until a voice offers him a well to cleanse himself. But operating the well to draw the water also opens a gate from which the diabolical voice originates. Debitus must decide it he takes the risk to free whatever ist behind that gate by getting the water from the well to clean himself. His wish to return to the happy place behind the door is stronger than his fear. He operates the well and washes the blood from his body. Just as he wants to pass the door, Impedim - the being behind the gate - shows himself...
