Description:
The film explores two distinct yet intricately connected narratives, the first delving into the biblical tale of Moses and his journey with the Jews from Egypt towards the Promised Land. We witness how Moses receives the Ten Commandments and navigates the challenges that arise when his followers succumb to temptation, exemplified by their worship of the golden calf.In the second part of the film, the story shifts to modern-day San Francisco as it demonstrates the timeless relevance of the commandments in contemporary life. Two brothers, Dan and John, find themselves at odds over their shared affection for Mary, while an additional source of tension arises when John uncovers that his rival has compromised the integrity of a cathedral through the use of substandard materials.As the narrative progresses, viewers will be drawn into an exploration of faith, morality, and the universal themes that transcend time and space, all set against the rich backdrop of biblical history and urban city life in San Francisco.
