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.。阿马罗（盖尔·加西亚·贝纳尔 Gael García Bernal 饰）是一名年轻的神父，他被教会派往一个偏僻的小村子，帮助在那里传教的神父本尼托（Sancho Gracia 饰）。谁知道本尼托早已经放弃了对上帝的信仰，他利用自己的身份，参与了替毒贩洗黑钱的行动牟取暴利，与此同时，他和寡妇桑嘉娜里（Angélica Aragón 饰）一直保持着肉体关系。 桑嘉娜里的女儿艾米丽（安娜·克劳迪亚·塔兰康 Ana Claudia Talancón 饰）是一名虔诚的信徒，她常常找阿马罗忏悔，久而久之，两人之间竟然擦出了爱的火花。一场意外让本尼托的所作所为濒临曝光的边缘，与此同时，艾米丽告诉阿马罗自己怀孕了，她天真的希望阿马罗能够放弃神职娶自己为妻。。
