A sanctimonious plantation owner in 1790s Havana stages a pre-Easter recreation of The Last Supper using twelve of the slaves from his fields as the disciples. He hopes to teach them about Christianity and even promises a reprieve from work on Good Friday. The enslaved men reject the proselytizing during the long dinner. In the morning, the men learn their brutal foreman has not learned of the “day off,” leading to a violent confrontation.
