Story-line
At the age of 7, Jesus Bar-Joseph lives with his family in
Alexandria, Egypt, where they have fled to avoid a massacre of children by King
Herod of Israel. Jesus knows that his parents Joseph and Mary have secrets they
are keeping from him, secrets about his birth and about traits that make him
very different from other boys. His parents, however, believe him too young to
grasp the truth of his miraculous birth and purpose. Learning that the
murderous Herod is dead, they set out to return to their home of Nazareth in
Israel, unaware that Herod's namesake son is, like his father, determined to
see the boy Jesus dead.
