Andrea (Adrienne Barbeau) is a widow whose husband was an astronaut. She’s come to Greece to raise her son Tim (Jeremy Licht). One day, walking the beach after a storm, they come across a man (Keir Dullea) in the surf. He doesn’t even remember who he is, so Andrea calls him Glenn. She begins to fall in love with him, while Tim sees him as a father figure. The island’s people seem to be weirded out by him, other than Dr. Barnaby (Peter Hobbs), who learns that he has two hearts. In time, Glenn tells him that if he ever had something like a father, he wished that it would be him.

Glenn ends up being Jesus — or the brother of Jesus — who has come here from the future. He has powers that we don’t and is able to see Tim get accidentally shoved off a cliff by a very cute dog in a scene that made my jaw drop. Glenn is able to bring him back to life, but when he’s unable to do the same for other kids, the village turns against him. Also: Why would Andrea give weed to a man she thinks is a murderer at worst and an amnesiac at best?

Dullea is really great in this, as he plays the confusion perfectly. It’s wild to see director and writer Nico Mastorakis tackle such a serious subject, nearly making both a Jesus Christ and superhero movie at the same time. If Jesus came back in time to Earth, I imagine that it would be only right if he got to sleep with Adrienne Barbeau.

This is part of Arrow Video’s The Nico Mastorakis Collection and has an interview with Dan Hirsch looking back on his role in the film and a trailer as extra features.
