Description
In a remote Greek village on the eve of its annual Passion play, a profound crisis erupts when starving refugees are denied sanctuary. This stark act of exclusion forces the villagers, who are about to reenact the story of Christ's suffering, to confront the hypocrisy and moral failings within their own community. As the lines between performance and reality blur, the actors find their own lives mirroring the biblical narrative, leading to a powerful exploration of faith, compassion, and the enduring struggle between human cruelty and divine love.
