In the village of Lycovrissi, under Ottoman rule, an ancient tradition requires the Passion of Christ to be reenacted every seven years during Holy Week. The villagers chosen to play the roles of Jesus and the apostles begin to live their parts with a transformative intensity, leading them to challenge the selfishness of local authorities and aid a group of Greek refugees fleeing persecution. This masterpiece by Nikos Kazantzakis explores themes of sacrifice, faith, and the struggle between human morality and institutional rigidity.
