When attendance at a church's annual Passion Play flags, a troupe of young actors is hired to stage a modern interpretation of the teachings of Jesus. While their version brings the house down, it also brings down the condemnation of the church's hierarchy, thereby creating a strange parallel between the actors -- now persecuted believers -- and the Passion Play. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival and of 12 Canadian Genies.
