About this movie

The film projects the figures of Herod and Caiaphas into a reality show. Herod, who asks questions about God, provokes visitors to the Living Nativity of Grottammare, hurling himself against everyone. In the living nativity scene, alongside the figures and the public, he experiences moments of despair, agitation and rage, until he discovers an unexpected meaning in the surreality of a story that alternates visionary and everyday life. Caifa, with his repentance, shakes the representation of the Passion of Larino. His being in the Passion takes place as an overturned way of the cross which the old priest becomes the martyr. Between drama and irony, the film tells, from the doubtful human point of view, the birth and death of Christ.
