Brazil in the year 2027. Civil servant Joana mainly deals with divorce cases. As a member of a branch of evangelical Christians known as the Divino Amor group, she uses her position to offer a kind of physical therapy to couples who want to separate: Exploring sexuality with the aim of reconciling quarreling couples. Although Joana and Danilo regularly consummate their marriage, neither Joana’s constant prayers nor any other methods of assistance seem to be able to fulfill their desire for a child, a fact that increasingly depresses the couple. But then a miracle finally happens. Director and visual artist Gabriel Mascaro’s third feature film is a futuristic gospel. His drama about jealousy, the fear of God, and love plays out in front of a series of impressive-looking reinforced concrete buildings that subtly reflect the science-fiction character of the story. A film that also asks what else faith can move besides mountains.
