Laugh, cry, and even fume as love, jealousy, manipulation, forgiveness and other themes come to life through the dreamy reflections of a mischievious young man named Marcus, who later becomes one our gospel writers. Step inside the skin of the men and women of Christ's passion. See their pain. Feel their sufferings. And find their hope.
As you experience the tests of each, you may come to agree that the absence of detail within that forty-hour span between the crucifixion and resurrection may really be an act of charity, offering grace to cast of characters who, in so many ways, are simply a mirrored reflection of our own lives today.
