Inbetween – Plot
Shakespearean characters who have blood on their hands will not be sent to heaven when they die. But they also won’t be going to hell just yet. They will end up in a place, called Inbetween. This place is the last station before Heaven or Hell. Each of Inbetween inhabitants has to fulfill an honorable task to be able to get to Heaven, a task that really shows they are pure of heart, despite the things they have done while still alive. If they fail, Hell will be the final destination. However, if they prove to be to be suitable to Heaven, an eternal life in peace is waiting for them. There are not enough available spots left in Heaven for everyone though… The Angel of Death will decide who deserves to go to Heaven and who will end up in Hell for eternity.
