This the the story of a one year in time of the life of Jesus when he was young. This particular point in time is Jesus's life is when His family and Him are traveling out of Egypt and back to Nazareth around the time when Jesus was seven years old.
I am not 100% sure about how accurate this story really is. I have not studied the Bible in length enough to even begin to try and say anything about it's accuracy. However, this movie was good at making you think. When we normally talk, or think, about Jesus we usually go right to His birth or His death not about what it was like for Him as a young boy. It did make me think of did Jesus know what He was to do before His parents told him? Did Mary and Joseph explain anything to Him about how God was His father? If so was He younger or older than seven years old? This movie was beautifully shot, and well written. Going in I thought it was going to keep me in the same place, just following Him and His family, but it covered some history or the land (through storytelling) and it had a few other sub plots in there that keep you thinking and entertained at the same time. This is one of those movies that you already know what the real ending of the story but it fascinates you to see what happened on the parts you might not know as much about.
