Titus: A Comrade of the Cross

Titus is a young boy, born to a down on his luck fisherman who has turned towards violent crime and a downtrodden mother. His main companion, his brother Stephen is crippled as a result of being beaten by their cruel father, however he remains kind and sweet.
After hearing of Jesus Titus is brusque at first, dismissing the possibility that Jesus would help them as ‘heathen greeks’. In their quest to escape their father and find peace, Stephen and Titus strike out, prompted by a terrible accident suffered by a neighbour’s infant. After brushing the Roman empire the wrong way and being imprisoned, they carefully consider the idea of rebellion before finally coming as new and liberated people, together at the foot of the cross at history’s most significant crucifixion.
