The film portrays Jesus, a historically Middle Eastern figure, with Dudu Azevedo, an actor generally perceived as white/European-descended. This constitutes a race swap from his established historical race.

The film, centered on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, inherently portrays the foundational figure of Christianity with reverence and aims to convey the core tenets and virtues of the faith in an affirming manner.

Following traditional biblical narratives, the film likely portrays the Jewish religious institutions and their leaders as rigid, hypocritical, and ultimately responsible for Jesus's persecution and crucifixion, without significant counterbalancing nuance for the institutions themselves.
