Several individuals in History have suffered for their religious beliefs and this personage, Nektarious of Aegina is one of them. Religious persecution is a staple of historical events, and this film does a good job of documenting the trials and tribulations of Nektaious. We are sympatric to his unfair treatment, but most moviegoers will be looking for a bit more to the story. What were the motivations of thos who treated Nketailus so unfairly? Did they have some justification, as in a political struggle? Or was the persecution carried out strictly for religious reasons? That question is not realy addressed in the film. Other that that, an interesting study in the time period and place.
