The renowned Norwegian photographer Jonas Bendiksen is on a quest to find people who claim they are Jesus Christ returned. For several years, he has travelled the world and photographed many of them - but he has yet to meet Vissarion, who lives deep in the wilds of Siberia with his 6000 followers. On two previous attempts Jonas has lived among Vissarion's disciples, hoping to be allowed to photograph "Jesus from Siberia", without success. Now he makes a last attempt to gain an audience with the mystical Messiah figure, in the week before Christmas.
