His father scolds him for interrupting the performance before sending him backstage.At home, Dickens's wife, Catherine (Uma Thurman), suggests he make up to his son by reading him the story from his latest manuscript about the life of Jesus Christ, the true King of Kings. Walter, who is enamored by kings, sits down with his cat, Willa, for an adventurous storytelling experience.With the power of imagination, Dickens transports the trio back 2000 years to witness key events from Jesus Christ's life. He starts with the Nativity scene depicting the birth of Christ. Walter is transfixed as he watches Jesus heal the sick, perform miracles, and grow his ministry undeterred in the face of powerful opposition.Dickens also introduces his son to the power of love and forgiveness through the Passion and Resurrection of Christ (Oscar Isaac).
