From a window in Fabiola's house, Sebastian watches the Christians being taken to their cells, and as he listens to the shrieks and curses of the multitude his heart is stirred with pity. Later Sebastian is denounced to the Emperor as a Christian, and he is condemned to die by the swords of the Numidian guards. The news is brought to Fabiola, who sends one of her slaves to the chief of the Numidians. Heis brought to her house, and rich bribes are offered to him not to fulfil the Emperor's command. Sebastian is taken to the place of execution, and the chief commands his followers to shoot with their arrows, but not to kill. Dangerously wounded, Sebastian is carried to Fabiola's house, where she tenderly nurses him back to health.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its early Christian drama through the contrast of personal duty and state decree, relying on the visual simplicity of silent cinema and the expressive acting of its performers.
What lingers after viewing is the archaic yet powerful aesthetic of cinematic language in its infancy, where every gesture carries weight. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Enrique Santos
Best Watched
In subdued lighting, with a historical curiosity for the origins of the religious epic.
