A darkly comic, modern riff on the Gospel-relocated from ancient Judea to the backstage chaos of a Berlin film studio-this short story follows an actor nicknamed "Christ," a man so convinced he was born to play Jesus that the role has swallowed his entire identity.
On set, everything looks sacred: dramatic gestures, solemn lines, apostles arranged around the table, and a director barking orders like scripture. But the moment the camera stops rolling, holiness slips into cigarettes, hangovers, petty rivalries, and the kind of absurd backstage politics that can turn a biblical scene into a nightclub argument in under five minutes. "John the Baptist" snacks through takes, the apostles gossip and scheme, and Christ tries desperately to keep his authority intact-both as the lead actor and as the self-appointed messiah of the production.
When a new woman enters the picture and becomes part of his fragile little universe, Christ gets a taste of something close to happiness-until the set's toxic gravity starts pulling everyone back into chaos. Egos collide, loyalties shift, and the line between performance and reality blurs in ways that are funny, brutal, and unsettling all at once.
As the story escalates, Berlin's nightlife, modern extremism, and internet spectacle loom at the edges, turning personal meltdown into something much bigger than a private scandal. What begins as an irreverent satire about acting and faith quietly sharpens into a punchy, uncomfortable look at masculinity, obsession, and the cost of believing your own myth-right up to a final irony that flips the entire "destiny" narrative on its head.
