Description

Accurately following Matthew's writings, the film tells the life of Jesus: from the annunciation to Mary, to her wedding with Joseph, Christ's birth and the slaughter of the innocents. With historical attention and moving scenes the 40 days in the desert, the preachings to the 12 Apostles, are lyrically represented. The Crucifixion and the Resurrection, underlined by a beautiful musical score, give it the well known dramatic climax epilogue
