Greece, in the 1920's, is occupied by the Turks. The country is in turmoil with entire villages uprooted. The site of the movie is a Greek village that conducts a passion play each year. The leading citizens of the town, under the auspices of the Patriarch, choose those that will play the parts in the Passion. A stuttering shepherd is chosen to play Jesus. The town butcher (who wanted to be Jesus) is chosen as Judas. The town prostitute is chosen as Mary Magdalene. The rest of the disciples are also chosen. As the movie unfolds, the Passion Play becomes a reality. A group of villagers, uprooted by the war and impoverished, arrive at the village led by their priest. The wealthier citizens of the town want nothing with these people and manipulate a massacre. In the context of the 1920's each of the characters plays out their biblical role in actuality.。小康是无用之人,在车水马龙中高举广告招牌维生,即便狂风暴雨亦屹立不摇。他举牌、点烟、尿尿,再举牌、点烟、尿尿,任车阵喧嚣从身旁呼啸而过。小康的生命中只有两个孩子,他们一起吃饭、一起刷牙、一起更衣,一起蜷曲着入睡。他们缺乏水电,总是在同一张破旧床垫上,伴着一颗高丽菜相拥而眠。整座城市彷佛都成了野狗咆哮游荡的废墟,河流也更遥远了。一个暴雨交加的夜晚,小康决定带上两个孩子,一同出航。。柚美是一个从小失去父母的孤儿,因心理受创将过去的记忆扭曲,认为是父母抛弃了自己,封锁心扉的她变得脆弱敏感,甚至姐姐对自己的关心也被扭曲为是一种恶意的控制欲。直到濒临死亡时的臆想世界才让她懂得:释怀过去,才能积极地拥抱阳光,体会到生活的弥足珍贵。。
