I en lille græsk landsby meddeler pastor Grigoris hvem af byens borgere, der er blevet tildelt en rolle i passionsspillet som Jesus, Judas, Maria Magdalene m.fl. til den kommende påskefest. En gruppe flygtninge, der er fordrevet fra deres hjem, bryder ind midt i påskeforberedelserne. Deres overhoved, præsten Fotis, appellerer inderligt til, at pastor Grigoris og landsbyen udviser kristen næstekærlighed. Der sættes spørgsmålstegn ved kristne værdier, når lokalsamfundet bliver splittet af spørgsmålet om, hvem der ønsker at hjælpe, og rollerne i passionsspillet sætter forskellige tanker i gang hos de medvirkende. Manolios, der spiller Jesus i passionsspillet, bliver, som tiden går, opslugt af sin rolle og meddeler, at han vil ændre sit liv for fremover at tjene Kristus. Han opfordrer sine medmennesker til at gøre gode gerninger og dele rigdommen med de fattige. Landsbyens overhoveder betragter Manolios som en trussel, og for øjnene af alle dømmes han som en farlig oprører og bliver udstødt af menigheden. Han erklærer, at hans hidtidige liv var en løgn og giver menneskehedens ugerninger skylden. Folket kræver hans død…

Manolios, who plays Jesus in the passion play, becomes consumed by his role as time goes on and announces that he will change his life to serve Christ in the future. He encourages his fellow men to do good deeds and share the wealth with the poor. The village chiefs regard Manolios as a threat, and in the eyes of all, he is judged a dangerous rebel and ostracized by the congregation. He declares that his past life was a lie and blames the misdeeds of mankind. The people demand his death…
