Plot

Although not everything in the film is recorded in the New Testament, the film emphasizes Mary's importance in Jesus' life by, for example, suggesting that his parables were inspired by stories Mary told him in his childhood, and portraying the risen Jesus appearing to Mary privately. The film closes with Mary suggesting that the death of her son is not the end, but the beginning, and that she and the disciples should start preaching about Jesus, and "teach as he taught, live as he lived, love as he loved."
