Following the shooting of a film on the life of Jesus called This Is My Blood, Marie Palesi, the actress who plays Mary Magdalene takes refuge in Jerusalem in search of the truth behind the story, while the film's director, who also plays Jesus, returns to New York to aggressively promote the film. The film within a film is drawing public controversy for reasons that are never directly specified, but some scenes in the film draw on the non-canonical Gnostic Gospels, while there are public allegations that the film is anti-Semitic for reasons that are not given. In New York, television journalist Ted Younger (Forrest Whitaker) is presenting a series of programs about the life of Jesus, and chooses to interview the film's director. Privately, Younger is having a crisis of faith.
Hungarian Summary:
A független író-rendező Tony Childress filmet forgat Ez az én vérem címmel, melyben magára osztja Jézus Krisztus szerepét, Mária Magdolnát pedig a tehetséges Marie Palesi alakítja. Minden a legnagyobb rendben folyik egészen a forgatás végéig, amikor is Marie képtelen beletörődni, hogy a történet befejeződött. Ahelyett, hogy Tony-val visszatérne New York-ba Jeruzsálem felé veszi útját, hogy folytathassa szerepében megkezdett spirituális útját. Egy évvel később Manhattan-ben Ted Younger televíziós sztár-újságíró egy héten keresztül Jézus korát és életét veszi górcső alá főműsoridőben. Miközben a műsor hihetetlen nézettséget ér el, ő és felesége személyes krízist élnek át, mely lelkileg felkészületlenül éri őket.
