Based on an incident in Cuban colonial history, this masterful film tells the story of a pious 18th century slave owner who reenacts the last supper, portraying himself as Christ, and with twelve slaves selected to play the disciples. He selects a rebellious slave to be Judas, leading to the brilliant supper scene with ominous undercurrents of imminent reckoning. Please note: this film contains some violent scenes.
