calls God by phone and asks him how is he doing, and if he is not tired of their eternal dispute for mankind's fate. Both decide to set up a definitive game, which will decide if humans deserve one last chance to reach Heaven or if they will be condemned forever to hell. They settle that Eve and Adam, an ordinary 20th Century couple, will be their "players"; travelling through time while fighting to temptation and carnal desire.
