The film is set in the early nineteenth century, when Tyrol was under foreign occupation. The Tyrolean folk hero Andreas Hofer hides in the village of St Leonhardt, whose residents are preparing to stage their annual Passion Play. The film focuses on Raffl, a young farmhand cast in the role of Judas. Raffl gradually loses the ability to distinguish between role and reality.
The film was directed by Franz Osten and composed by Gottfried Huppertz. Camilla Spira, who was Jewish, was interned in a concentration camp after making the film and left Germany after being freed.[3]
Casino Film Exchange re-released the film in the United States in June 1941.[3]
