Napoleon Bonaparte is among the guests, as are Pontius Pilate and Christopher Columbus. Among the revelers, however, is an intellectual from the 20th century who knows the history of the last 2000 years perfectly and points out to the powerful their mistakes and their senseless wars. Those present listen to the man, but do not understand the meaning of his words.
