It could be done in the style of
Rashomon, with the added bonus that many of the lines from that film could just be stolen, re-worked a bit, and applied near the end. To wit:
-- [Commoner]: If men lie in this world, what makes you so sure they'll be honest in the next?
-- [Commoner]: No one tells a lie after he's said he's going to tell one.
-- [Commoner]: We all want to forget something, so we tell stories. It's easier that way.
-- [Woodcutter]: I'm the one who should be ashamed. I don't understand my own soul.
-- [Priest]: Dead men tell no lies.
-- [Commoner]: But is there anyone who's really good? Maybe goodness is just make-believe.
[Priest]: What a frightening . . .
[Commoner]: Man just wants to forget the bad stuff and believe in the made-up good stuff. It's easier that way.
-- [Priest]: If men don't trust each other, this earth might as well be hell.
[Commoner]: Right. The world's a kind of hell.
[Priest]: No! I don't want to believe that!
[Commoner]: No one will hear you, no matter how loud you shout. Just think. Which one of these stories to you believe?
[Woodcutter]: None makes any sense.
[Commoner]: Don't worry about it. It isn't as if men were reasonable.
-- [Priest]: A man's been murdered.
[Commoner]: So what? Only one? Why, up on top of this gate, there's always five or six bodies. No one worries about them
-- [Commoner]: Well, men are only men. That's why they lie. They can't tell the truth, even to themselves.
[Priest]: That may be true. Because men are weak, they lie to deceive themselves.
[Commoner]: Not another sermon! I don't mind a lie if it's interesting.
