SYNOPSIS

Mary receives a visit from the angel Gabriel who announces that she will give birth to a son who will be called Jesus. Growing up in his family, Jesus reaches the age of 33 and begins to preach throughout Judea and its surroundings, welcoming the poor and marginalized, announcing the Kingdom of Heaven and declaring himself the Son of God. Jesus chooses twelve apostles who become the nucleus of his community His attitude, his miracles and his message attract thousands of people. However, Jesus upsets the teachers of the Law and the scribes who represent the religious authority in a Judea dominated by the Roman Empire. Sentenced to death on the cross, Jesus is tortured and killed, but what seemed like the end of a human journey becomes the world’s most famous story after his resurrection that perpetuates his message until today.
