Story
The film shows the life of Jesus in the context of the policy of Roman conquest . As soon as Jesus becomes a preacher and healer, his actions begin to be opposed to the political position of Barabbas and his followers, who rebelled against the Roman invaders. Judas Iscariot , a friend of Barabbas, first wanted to persuade Barabbas to accept Jesus as a liberator and influence him to raise his hands against the Romans, but the illusions were gone when Barabbas heard the Sermon on the Mount . Then Judas decided to betray Jesus to Rome.
