This fairy type of movie is divided in episodes (Figuras) that are settle either on a jail or an play, in this surrealistic film we are immerse in a Dogville type of stage were the combination of Poetry, testaments and political discourse of the mix of characters of the daily basis and religious figures such as Judas, the virgin, the labor workers, homosexuals, drag queens. Ironically 'Figuras de la passion' has been banned for several years as a product of the attack and angriness of right – winged parties and scholars.
