Summary
A Montreal shrine seeks to inspire its congregants by modernizing its staging of the Passion play. A promising cast of vibrant young actors are signed on - one fresh from perfume commercials, another from the pornographic film industry, and another who had an affair with the basilica's priest--quickly drive the production on to become a smash hit. But as the play enjoys success, the actors' lives begin to mirror their lives onstage
