Imagine Brazil moving towards political and religious unity many years later, with citizens enthusiastic about religious parties. If the Messiah were to return at this time, would the world be prepared? Zuana works as a notary public and will secretly assist in reconciling divorced couples.
She has also experienced marital difficulties herself, longing to have children but her husband is infertile. She wants to use religious power to obtain oracles and even participate in group sex counseling.
Mascherano, who rose to fame with “August Breeze” (39th edition) and “Rainbow Bull” (40th edition), implements a remarkable visual style, adding provocation to the sensuality of the camera and satirizing the hypocrisy of blind worship. Works from the Sundance Film Festival competition.
