The Fake Russian Prophet

Directed by Georges Méliès

In the interior of a small Russian cottage dwells a peasant with the reputation of being able to foretell future events. Alternatively, a Japanese soldier and a Russian General visit him and ask him about the outcome of the war both their countries are engaged at. One after the other, both men are shown visions where their respective countries win, and both give the peasant a big sum of money for his services.
