The film mixes fiction and reality in a story based on the Catalan tradition of La Passió d'Esparreguera, a yearly representation of Christ's life during Easter. It focuses on the personal story of one of its players, assigned to play Judas but ready to do whatever necessary to play Jesus, even commit treason like the original Judas, with unexpected results. A realistic film settled in sceneries like Montserrat mountains and Esparreguera village and depicting La Passió with its real actors.
