What happened in the last days of Jesus Christ - from his arrival in Jerusalem to his death on the cross? What is faith, what is historical? The scenic documentary attempts to reconstruct this. It begins with Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem with a small group of followers, continues with the scandal in the temple, the provocation of the Jewish rulers, the trial before the Roman prefect and ends with the execution of the sentence. What information do historical testimonies provide, what clues do sources from Christian authors provide? The tradition of Christ's death and resurrection changed the world. With around two and a half billion people, Christianity is the largest religious community in terms of numbers. The unique history of the impact of Jesus and his followers is contrasted by the ongoing discussion about what reliable historical information there is about the founder of the faith. There are Roman and Jewish sources that provide evidence that Jesus existed, when he lived, how he died and what early Christians experienced and suffered. And then there are the writings of Christian authors, especially the Gospels, which look at Jesus' life with the eyes of faith but are controversial as historiographical sources. But there are overlaps and well-founded assumptions with regard to people, actions and places. There is broad consensus on one thing: There was a Jewish itinerant preacher named Jesus who worked in Judea, Samaria and Galilee 2000 years ago, who caused a stir, gathered followers around him, gave moving testimonies, traveled to Jerusalem and evidently provoked the powers of his time with his attitude to such an extent that he had to die for it.
