The Carpenter’s Son opens in the early years of the Common Era with a deeply religious carpenter (Nicolas Cage) and his wife (FKA Twigs) welcoming their prophesied child. But life is harsh for believers, and the family spends the next fifteen years constantly on the run, hiding from those who would persecute them. They eventually settle in Roman-occupied Egypt, where their son (Noah Jupe) forms an unlikely friendship with a troubled street child (Isla Johnson). As the boy begins to develop extraordinary and mysterious powers – including healing the sick, predicting the future, and feeling others’ emotions – it draws unwanted and dangerous attention. These abilities lead the Carpenter to question his son’s true nature and his own beliefs.
