The Gospel According to Jesus Christ

A sketch based on the book of the same name by José Saramago.
The story tells a worldly vision of the events associated with the Nazaren: the circumstances of his birth, the first questions asked at his mother, the encounters with angels and demons, the finding of love with Mary Magdalen, the existencial dialogues and the eagerness to know what is the true purpouse of his existence in the eyes of God.
