1. Christ Is Recrucified
In a remote Greek village preparing to stage a Passion play, the villagers chosen to portray Christ and the apostles begin to live out their parts in earnest, and a humble shepherd who embodies Christ’s compassion turns from conformity to radical charity toward war refugees; his moral awakening and insistence on caring for the outcast pits him against the parish priest, the landowning elders, and communal self-interest, leading to betrayal, violence, and a tragic recrucifixion that exposes hypocrisy, tests faith, and probes the cost of true sacrifice.
