The opening narration by Balthasar refers to the taxation decree made "in the seventh year of the reign of Augustus Caesar." Augustus was emperor of Rome from 27 BC to his death in 14 AD. This would have placed the decree in 20 BC. The film has the event coinciding with the birth of Christ as does the Gospel of Luke. The Gospel further states that "Quirinius was governor of Syria." Historical records indicate that the Census of Quirinius took place in 6 AD.
