It does not mention where he plans to go; neither does he mention it to his friends. First to arrive at his house is his friend Dan, a fellow faculty member and anthropologist. Next are his friends Edith, another peer and Christian literalist, Harry, a biology professor, and his love interest, Sandy, a historian. Next to his car, Edith notices a "copy" of a Van Gogh work, addressed to one "Jacques Borne"; John insists its a copy, and nothing more. | | The movie begins on an outdoor scene as Dr. John Oldman prepares to leave, packing many of his belongings in the back of the car.
