A young woman faces a fundamental choice in her life: deciding whether or not to remain in the place of recollection and prayer in which she finds herself. She asks her professor and guide a series of questions focused on two topics. The first is the end of Jesus, that is to to say the historical reasons (i.e., disregarding the Scriptures) for which on that famous spring day, to Jerusalem, his sentence to death was issued and carried out.The second topic, which derives almost directly from the first, is how far the church that is said to him and from inspired by him, corresponds in the reality of behavior to his message. Whether or not it corresponds to the message of the gospel is the continued meddling in the affairs of the state.

Had not Jesus separated 'God' from 'Caesar'?The dialogue alternates between confidential tones, almost tinged with tenderness, and others where the contrast becomes harsh, torn almost to the point of violence, and the words would like to strike like stones.The young woman is clearly bewildered by the environment, from what she has seen and heard there.

While the two are talking, some phone calls reach the teacher. On the other end of the line someone asks him to do something to which the teacher refuses. The phone calls become urgent but the denial remains. Until to when he calls someone to whom the professor addresses with the title 'excellence'. The answer changes, becomes a yes. So he will go, he will do something before which his conscience until to that moment had rebelled.The great dialogue that follows has harsh tones, it brings up doing and being, caring too much about the world, getting lost in the game of material interests and power, no longer being able to reconcile the drive of ideals and the weight of responsibilities.

Reflexively also comes into question the distance, the contrast, between the figure of Jesus, the unarmed prophet, the friend of the humble of the children of women, and the Christ of faith who triumphs in the gold of mosaics, in the glory of liturgy, in the magnificence of power, the triumphant ruler covered by the cloak of theology.The dialogue between the two characters on stage is interspersed from some presences that emerge from Jesus' time, from his Israel. Witnesses to His actions, the protagonists of the trial, appear and then vanish into thin air: an Essene (a sect to which Jesus Himself probably belonged); the secretary of Nicodemus i.e., of one of the few Pharisees who sided with Him; the procurator Pontius Pilate; Judas who in a heartfelt confession will reveal the reasons for his 'betrayal'; the woman whom Jesus saved from stoning reveals the reasons why He committed adultery; the Magdalene will tell of her sacred love for the Savior.The ending will not dissolve all our questions. We will not know for sure whether the young woman will stay or not, we will each find within ourselves the possible answer.We will, however, have reconstructed a reasonable 'historical' explanation for the condemnation of a man who was changing the world.
