Ewan McGregor is cast as both Jesus and the devil in this imagined chapter which depicts Jesus' journey during the period of his 40 days of fasting and praying in the desert. In this American Drama film Jesus has to battle with the binary oppositions of good vs evil whilst existing in a state of desperation as he has only been surviving on water and praying. He comes in to contact with the Devil and becomes taunted by him as he wants him to make a decision over a family that are in a crisis.

After spending a few days with the family of three Jesus realises that the conflict between them is due to the son wanting to leave for Jerusalem in the hope of finding a better life for himself. This film directed by Rodrigo Garcia offers a look in to the biblical world of Jesus and the decisions that he has to make as a result in terms of providing the greater good for the majority.
