The story takes place in Capernaum and Jerusalem during the two years leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and follows the lives of Judas Iscariot (Arthur Maude) and Mary Magdalene (Constance Crawley), who indulge in their own selfish pursuits and care little about the plights of others. But when Mary hears Jesus preach an outdoor sermon, she learns the power of Christ's love and abandons her reckless ways to become one of his most ardent followers.
According to the Christian belief, Jesus Christ was sent by God the Father to carry the humans woes. Thus the film starts by showing the pain of humans occurring at the same time with the sufferings of Jesus.
Filmé au sud de Rome dans la réserve naturelle de Tor Caldara, le film aborderait des passages de la vie du Christ sous formes de paraboles évangéliques.
