Saint Peter, a reluctant but passionate leader, from the crucifixion of Jesus to his own. The film�s first half dramatizes the New Testament�s �Acts�: early fear, the renewal of Pentecost, Saul�s conversion, the decision to baptize pagans, and the Apostles� dispersal. In the second half, an aged Peter goes to Rome to join Paul, arriving on the day of Paul�s arrest. Paul�s death brings a crisis to Rome�s Christians and to Peter; lessons from Jesus�s teachings guide his decision to stay. Events within the fictive household of Persius, a Roman aristocrat, capture the upheaval that Christian teachings bring to the Eternal City.
