The story
A theatrical troupe travel by bus to the Negev Desert to perform a modern-day re-enactment of the Passion of Christ told through song.
He clashes with Jesus over his association with Mary Magdalene (historically accused of being a prostitute) and how he allows her to purchase expensive ointments for him instead of instructing her to help the poor.
As crowds greet Jesus upon his arrival in Jerusalem for Passover, Jesus rejects both Caiaphas' order to disperse them and his follower Simon's suggestion to lead them into an uprising against Rome.
