THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST focuses on the last twelve hours of Jesus of Nazareth's life. The film begins in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Jesus must resist the temptations of Satan. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, Jesus is then arrested and taken within the city walls of Jerusalem where leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy and his trial results in a condemnation to death.

Italy, 1997. 23-year-old Soledad Rosas arrives in Turin from Argentina and moves into a community squat. There she meets militant anarchist Edoardo Massari, and they fall in love. But soon, they will find themselves labeled terrorists by the government—and celebrated as heroes by the people.
