A short summary: The point of origin is a dramatical biography of the life of Jesus, influenced by the philosophical thoughts represented in the essay Den sidste Messias (en. The last Messiah) published in 1930 and Zapffe's philosophical treatise, Om det tragiske (en. On the tragic) published in 1941. Jesus had, as the majority of the people that has or is living, misinterpreted what it means to be a human on our earth. He produced the treachery towards himself to fulfil the prophecies of the Messiah according to the teachings, but when God didn't answer him when he is at last crucified, the truth is revealed to him.
The play has never been set up partly because of it's extensive character.
