La passione di Giosué l'Ebreo (2005)

in the year 1492, a young jew named joshua was expelled, along with his people, from spain. after a series of adventures he arrives in naples. but even from here he is forced to flee, because anti-jewish hatred has now spread everywhere. arrived in sicily he went to live in a village of charcoal burners founded by jews who were forced to convert to catholicism. one day, he went to the nearby town of hassin, where he won an erudition competition. as a prize he is chosen to interpret the figure of christ in the sacred representation of passion. she identifies herself so much in the role that the inquisitor (who sensed its origins) decides to have him killed. thus, like his jewish ancestor 1500 years earlier, he ends up being crucified, because power always and in any case does not bear the truth, much less the one who represents it and professes it.
