• SYNOPSIS: 2,000 years ago, two prisoners sit in a cell awaiting their fate. As the story progresses, the circumstances and behavior that brought them to this place come into view. One man, is a lifelong rabbinical student and peacemaker. The other, his rebellious and temperamental best friend. Both now face the same fate. Soon, an encounter with a radical will transform their lives in opposite but equally impactful ways. This moving film is perfect for illustrating the deep love of Christ for all people.
