Jesus Christ is a carpenter from Judea. He earns a living by chopping crosses on which representatives of the Roman authorities crucify criminals. Jesus visit voices and visions - he guesses that he is chosen, but cannot understand what his purpose is and by whom he is elected: God or the devil. Judas, a friend of Jesus, passionately condemns him for cooperation with the authorities and even beats Jesus. Trying to understand and comprehend himself, Jesus leaves to wander with Judah. He has to go the difficult path of the Messiah.
