Original subtitles

It was 2027.

Brazil had changed.

The country's most important festivity

was no longer carnival.

It was the Festival of Divine Love.

The redemption of the body.

The purest feeling.

The vow of eternal love.

The great wait for the messiah.

IRENE S. DUTRA – MARRIED – NURSE

REGISTERED FETUS

JOANA M LIMA - MARRIED NOTARY PUBLIC

Genetic code archived.

Is it missing something?

Everything's okay.

Just thinking of going to the notary I get nervous already.

No need for getting nervous.

God forbid that I forget one of these documents.

Are you a first-time parent, sir?

- Born today? - Just a moment ago.

Oh, congratulations.

Uncontested divorce.

After being married for 5 years,

if there's no children or real property,

every legal connection between both parties are to be broken definitely.

And here the procedure of uncontested divorce is required

but assuming the intention of reconciling.

According to Brazilian law.

May I say something?

I think you and your wife.

Need to revive that feeling.

No sender address.

Must've been some kind of mistake.

I don't think so, the notary's address is written there.

That's weird.

I'm sorry, can you open it?

- Right here? - It's the rule.

We're not allowed private correspondence.

Yeah, I know. But… it's so weird.

Who are these people?

It's a couple that came here to have a divorce but changed their minds.

Look, I'd avoid this kind of gesture here.

Okay, but...

it's difficult to control that kind of thing.

I mean, gratitude...

Brazil was still supposedly a secular state.

But Joana wanted to transform the government.

Into a matter of faith.

She worked for God.

Serving others.

Bureaucracy was her hope.

Hi Isaac,

isn't "singela" spelled with a "g"?

Oh, you're right.

Can you a bring me a "g"?

- Isaac! Isaac! - Get out of her.

- Come back here. - She's in heat.

Naughty boy.

Go, go.

Love is not jealous.

Does not act unbecomingly.

It doesn't seek its own.

Is not provoked.

Does not take into account a wrong suffered.

Does not rejoice in unrighteousness.

But rejoices with the truth.

Bears all things.

Believes all things.

Hopes all things.

Endures all things.

Love.

Brothers,

look at each other.

Any long time member of Divine Love would like to share their history?

And the importance of the group in recovering a marriage in crisis?

Anyone?

Me, sister.

Please.

Me and Joana,

we became members of Divine Love.

About two years ago.

And we suffered with relationship problems like many of you.

Now, change.

Now the husband.

That's it!

The other husband.

Anyone could fall into the abyss someday.

But there'll always be a brother or sister to hold you by the arm.

Hallelujah.

Oh, glory.

Blessed be this encounter, my Lord.

That in the presence of these purified bodies.

You allow this couple to have a new life.

And follow Your hand, Lord.

We obey Your holy words and all of Your rules.

Because we walk in search of Your light.

And only to You, oh Lord we offer our love.

This encounter won't repeat itself, because it is unique.

It's an offer to You, oh Almighty Lord!

Allow me to expand your kingdom, oh Father.

Divine love.

Family above all things.

Radical.

Free and secret.

The offering of the body.

Was the promise of eternal glory.

We are a single voice, and we'll echo our truth.

We preach the freedom through Christ.

And for Him, we have no limits.

We are the soldiers of the good.

And the witnesses of victory.

Nobody can jail our ideals.

Because there were born free.

In our thoughts.

Everything is possible.

We can be anything.

For God, nothing is impossible.

The Brazil of Joana had faith in the future.

There was no need for closed temples.

Spoke directly to God while looking at the sky.

Joana sang for the coming of the offspring.

But the long awaited son didn't come.

- It's too big, we better put it up there. - Okay.

- Joana Martins? - Yes?

Right thumb, please.

Thank you.

Look at this.

Thank you, now we have a divine plan in our lives.

Oh, I'm happy it went well.

Second position.

There.

It think it's ready now.

Got it?

- Like this? - Yeah.

- Can I turn it on? - Yes.

More hormones, more fertility.

Leave me by myself here.

I'll do this alone.

Welcome.

Grace and light, sister.

Amen, pastor.

Glory.

I don't even know if I can ask you that.

Have you received any sign yet?

Sister,

all the signs are already there.

He seems so silent, pastor.

God's wisdom allows Him to answer even while in silence.

I just wanted to know when I'll get an answer.

If you want answers,

God will give you a question.

But I...

Something happened?

I've tried everything.

To no avail.

Sister,

he sends messages when we last expect.

Keep doing your part and the long awaited day will come.

Believe it. - Thank you, pastor.

Glory to God.

Amen.

Would you have time to listen to a worship song tonight?

Yes.

So be it.

I hope to keep following your teachings.

So be it.

The promises are going to be fulfilled, sister.

It'll be fulfilled.

Have faith, believe it.

God will do that for you.

The only thing that matters is living here.

The only thing that matters is singing here.

Sing, sister, with your heart and your faith.

The light of life that clears our paths.

Yours.

Mine.

Jesus will do that for you.

Won't let you stop believing in this day, because it'll come.

It'll come, sister.

Believe Him, sister.

Believe in God.

Keep doing your work with faith, happiness, love.

Be sure that the promise will be fulfilled.

Oh, Father, it will be fulfilled.

It will be fulfilled.

It will be fulfilled.

The only thing that matters is living here.

The only thing that matters is singing loud.

Sing louder, sister.

Sing louder, sister, louder.

Sing with your heart, with your faith. God is listening.

He's here.

It's His home. Sing loudly. He's listening.

He'll show you the way, He will guide you, by the hand.

Having faith that the day will come.

It'll come, sister.

- Glory to God. - Amen, pastor.

Go in peace. God's in your heart.

Amen.

Blue flowers seem unreal. Don't look like anything.

In this case, I'm afraid I can't help you, sir.

Have a good day.

Some old geezer, wanted to put a blue crown on a stray dog.

- To each his own. - No! A blue flower?

A plastic one, for a funeral.

No way.

These people think they can just buy everything.

I find them pretty.

Blue flowers.

My ex-husband came here before but my DNA document ended up being left out.

- What's your ex-husband's name? - Rodrigo Araújo Souza.

Here's my pending genetic code.

Genetic code archived successfully.

What did he say about me?

He told me he talked to you for quite a while.

He said he still loves you.

Just that?

He'd be up to give another chance for the two of you.

He said he talked to you a lot.

Every marriage can get a bit worn-out.

Me and my husband have also gone through many difficulties.

We struggled together.

We managed to get over it, and I think you both can too.

No, Rodrigo's different.

Is it an uncontested divorce?

What did Rodrigo say?

We wrote this document together.

For your appreciation.

But he didn't want to sign it.

Because he loves you.

Now, if you want to throw away all of your history.

Everything you've lived together with your husband.

You may

sign these two copies, okay?

And if you need any help, I'm here.

You can't prove it's me even though I'm right in front of you?

If we were certifying a likeness, we'd make a comparison.

Correct.

But to notarize a signature, the signer must be present.

I am right here in front of you, ready to sign it.

Ma'am, you to be present to sign before the Notary.

That's what I mean. It's my signature, it's the same.

- But it doesn't matter, ma'am. - What are you trying to say?

I'm trying to say there are legal rituals and norms that must be followed.

Great, rituals, that's all I needed.

Ma'am, you have to provide a copy of the document and sign here in person.

I want to talk to your superior.

- My superior is not from this world. - So where's he from?

You sit there all day with your ass on that chair and do nothing.

Unbelievable!

You make things harder than they have to be, for you own pleasure.

Look, ma'am, you don't understand the legal norms.

I don't understand legal norms, it's not my job.

It's yours.

I can also tell you know nothing about having good manners.

"Good manners" means to you lowering my voice?

I believe good manners should help people.

Explaining things, being insightful and such.

It's what I try to do every single day. But it's you who doesn't let me.

Love's rule was to love without limits.

The will to keep fighting, was the hope that it could be won.

Good evening.

Divine Love is here?

Is it the couple's first time here?

- Yes. - Marriage certificate, please.

Ms. Ligia, your ID, please.

You too, sir.

Good evening.

- Good evening. - They're our guests.

Thanks.

Timothy chapter 1 verse 7.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power.

Sorry, I haven't brought anything.

Me neither, we came together.

There's no problem, you're new here. Your time will come soon.

Hebrews chapter 11 verse 1.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for.

And assurance about what we do not see.

Jeremiah chapter 17 verse 14.

Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed;.

Save me and I will be saved.

For you are the one I praise.

This is the shield that will guard your love for eternity.

Nothing can break the barrier that you're creating now.

Your marriage is shielded from any difficulty that may appear.

The ultimate pleasure comes from the divine wish.

Of procreating life inside the family.

When the man finds himself immersed in pleasure.

And the divine delight reaches his body.

You'll search the wife, brother.

To pour the seed of eternal life.

The husband must return to the wife's womb.

To inseminate her with his act of supreme love.

Those who love do not betray.

Those who love, share.

Divine Love had rules.

The seed of live could only be placed on mother earth.

Seeds to plant.

Flowers to harvest.

Love to live.

It'll be alright.

Mr. Danilo Fernandes de Lima, room 3.

Come with me.

Well, based on what I can see here,

your sperm production is normal.

But the problem isn't

about the spermatozoon.

It's the semen.

That is the liquid that keeps the sperm cells alive inside your wife.

But what about the treatment, the vitamins, the medication?

Unfortunately, we couldn't achieve the desired effect.

I'm sorry.

Is there any alternative treatment?

That depends on what one believes in.

PRAYER DRIVE-THRU.

Welcome!

Could it be that God can't see what I've been doing for Him?

God knows everything, sees everything.

I've saved more than eleven marriages.

Glory!

The Heavens are in celebration in honor of your efforts.

But God commemorates in silence.

Then why do I have to go through such a probation?

For those who believe, nothing is impossible, sister.

I asked for a signal.

And this is what I get...

Infertility.

Do you love God?

Of course I do.

So...

Could it be that my sin is loving too much?

No act in favor of God could be called a sin.

I'll play a hymn so you can pray.

Excuse me.

She was the one.

Instead of doing her job, she kept meddling in my divorce.

Didn't you have pending documentation?

I did, but that doesn't entitle you to meddle in my personal life.

I had no intention of doing so.

I don't know why notaries still even exist.

Public faith.

The Notary provides services of public faith.

So ask your employee for my document and stop complicating things.

Working at the notary office.

Many couples that come looking for a divorce end up regretting it.

Ma'am, if I feel remorse, I'm going to my church.

- Talk to my pastor, not to you. - Suelly, calm down. - I am calm.

Sometimes in life we just want to help and end being misunderstood.

I apologise.

Happiness to both of you.

For Joana, bureaucracy was equality.

Love for the common good.

Transparency.

Discipline.

And faith.

Joana had love for the others, just as much as she had for herself.

But not everyone knows what is love.

You may sign this form.

And you must also bring the community property agreement.

- How long were you married? - 31. - 33.

When we fell for each other he was already married to another woman.

I don't count those years, he does.

I see.

So that would make it your second divorce, right?

Yes, but none of them was my fault.

Oh, nothing's his fault, it never is.

Never at fault.

- Any children? - Two.

But they're already married, and have kids.

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

I have one more from my first marriage.

Ok, so you got three.

Two grandparents divorcing.

Your love is an ocean.

The sea waves come to save us.

Everything is washed by these waters.

In density, praising You.

The sacred outpouring, overflowing.

Seeds of the human plantation.

Praised be You, forever, my Lord.

In every flower that emanates from life.

Glory to You, my Lord.

My sacrifice praises You.

Take my body in Your hand.

Take me to the intangible.

In body, heart and soul.

The sacred outpouring, overflowing.

Seeds of the human plantation.

Praised be You, forever, my Lord.

In every flower that emanates from life.

There was a place to store the sour fruit.

Bastard children.

Unregistered.

And without a name.

Joana wanted to defeat uncertainty, and change her own destiny.

The tears of abandonment were her promise of faith.

But faith and uncertainty can't fit in the same heart.

Why didn't you give the group another go?

We'd rather settle it between ourselves.

It's so beautiful seeing you together.

But now we're just friends.

After all you've lived.

Edvaldo is too thick-headed.

There's no reasoning with him.

I did the best I could.

I never imagined you'd go through with this divorce.

Please, I'm in a hurry. Got work to do.

Can we get over with our business here?

I've worked here for such a long time, I...

I love what I do.

You'll keep doing what you do, but in a different environment.

Sir...

Am I being transferred because I tried to help a couple that loved each other?

No, Joana, you'll work now with property, it's different.

- Adverse possession, selling... - I'll punished...

for trying to make bureaucracy more humane?

- Is that it? - There's no humane bureaucracy.

That's called privilege.

You'll continue being a bureaucrat.

Just in a different area.

Same thing.

Okay?

ANA LÚCIA M. - DIVORCED - ENGINEER. - Welcome!

Government of Brazil, the greatest work is caring for life.

Father, oh father.

My King, Lord of the heavens.

How could I thank you enough?

How many times did I doubt? How many times I thought it wouldn't happen?

And you covered me in your celestial mantle, Lord.

Oh Father.

You've guided me to the light, my Lord.

I don't even know how could I thank you enough.

I thank you.

I thank you at every moment for being allowed.

By your divine goodness, my Lord.

That my body could be an instrument for your wisdom.

Thank You for the message You've sent me.

I thought it would never come.

Joana didn't have to thank.

Everything God gives is by His grace.

Uncertainty isn't defeated by promises of faith.

Faith is every certainty that needs no proof.

I think I have a miracle inside my womb.

What?

I think I'm pregnant.

How come?

How do you know that?

At the store.

Are you really sure?

When I went through the detector.

Glory!

I did it!

I did it.

Ma'am.

The results of your examination.

Thank you.

Pastor!

Pastor!

Are you asleep?

I wanted to talk so bad.

Wake up, please.

What is it?

You got a strong scent of flowers there.

Do I smell?

How about you take a shower and then we talk?

I had to make a crown of jasmines.

I won't be able to sleep with that smell.

Don't be dramatic.

It's not like I smell of cigarettes or alcohol.

Grace and light, sister.

Amen, pastor.

I came yesterday, but there wasn't anybody here.

Yeah, I did everything I could, but God didn't let me come.

I was in so much need.

What happened?

I'm pregnant.

Praised be God, sister!

Such good news!

Praised be, congratulations!

There's something really strange about all this, pastor.

What could be strange about that, sister?

I don't know who's the father.

That is not good.

Not good at all.

And your husband?

He's not the father of my son.

Would you like to ask for forgiveness?

There's something left unexplained, pastor.

But there must be an explanation.

What are you going to tell your son?

Sister, there's not much I can do.

Right here,

I can only facilitate your repentance.

There must be a message from God in all this that I don't understand.

I need help, Pastor.

Is your body is pure?

I give my body to God.

Do you want to listen to some hymn to help with your repentance?

There's nothing to regret.

Sister, God's listening.

You didn't sin, yet your son has no father, what are you trying to say?

I think God touched me.

The only sin that can't be forgiven is blasphemy.

Be careful with what you say. Really careful.

And what if it's true?

What if God really touched my body?

As per protocol, I'll have to report your case to the help center.

You'll have to talk to them?

It's not a simple case.

Will I have to go there?

If I go they'll say I'm lying.

If I lie, they'll say I'm sinning.

Every child is God's child, but be careful with what you say.

I don't know if...

If they're prepared to hear what you have to say.

Strengthen me with raisins.

Refresh me with apples.

For I am faint with love.

His left arm is under my head.

And his right arm embraces me.

Master...

Excuse me.

May I read the passage I brought for today?

You may, brother.

But it's from another book, is that okay?

Samuel...

Chapter 1

Verse 11

If you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant.

And remember me.

And not forget your servant,

but will give to your servant a son,

then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life.

Me and Joana will be father and mother.

Glory.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Glory.

Hallelujah.

- Congratulations, sister. - Hallelujah, sister.

Amen.

Thank you.

Glory. Thank you.

Congratulations, sister.

I wish you happiness.

What's up with you, huh?

I didn't like how you told everyone that I'm pregnant.

What's the difference?

The detector will show that anyway and everybody will know just the same.

And what's the problem with sharing it with our group?

After everything we've went through,

to have this child.

- Aren't you happy? - Of course I am.

I just wished you'd ask me before telling.

What's going on?

What happened?

This child is not ours.

Not ours?

I don't know how to explain, Danilo.

If it's not ours, whose child is it then?

I don't know.

Aren't you the mother?

I am.

If you're the mother then I'm the father.

No.

Who's the father?

- Someone from Divine Love? - No.

I did the paternity test, It's not you nor any of them.

Danilo.

- Danilo. - Who's the father?

- There's no father. - If there's no father then what is it?

Nobody needs to know.

We can keep it among ourselves.

- Only you and me will know. - Look here,

this is YOUR child.

Brought them all for you.

- Shouldn't they have their mother's milk? - No, they're fine.

They drink regular milk now.

- Won't you keep any with you? - I can't.

Because of the pedigree thing.

- Want to come in? - No, thanks. I'm on my way.

Bye.

Judging must be left to the judges. The notary mustn't judge anyone.

You can refer this to the tribunal to handle the process.

Joana, your husband has just filled for a divorce.

He's right there.

Danilo, stop that.

Listen to me, why are you doing this?

Why do you want to destroy our family?

This child right here is a miracle.

Our marriage is a lie.

Don't talk like this, God's listening.

If he's listening, tell him it's over.

It's over.

You don't love me anymore?

This has nothing to do with love.

It does.

Because those who love, believe.

- And those who believe, have faith, Danilo. - Faith?

What faith? Look at what happened.

- Faith? - Have you lost your faith?

Your faith won't fool me anymore.

You get it?

You don't believe in my faith anymore?

Go away, then.

Get out.

- Good evening, brother. - Good evening, sister.

Where's Danilo?

Danilo couldn't come, I'm just here to talk to Master Dalva really quick.

You know the rules, ma'am.

It's only for today.

Please, sister, you know I can't do that.

Please.

Not by yourself.

I'm really sorry, if I could...

But I can't.

Pastor, you must help me.

I can't be treated like this, I'm not some loose woman.

You didn't go to the help center, sister.

But didn't you say yourself that they wouldn't believe me?

I'm not authorized to handle your case.

I love God.

I'm a completely dedicated to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Is that my sin? Loving too much?

- Are you doubting me, pastor? - Who I am to doubt or to judge anyone?

What do I have to do to prove that I love God?

Listen to God from the inside of your heart.

Help me, pastor, please.

Go in peace, sister.

I will prove that I tell the truth.

Those who love, do not betray.

Those who love, share.

Joana said she did everything out of love.

And would do it all again.

More than two thousand years of waiting.

Everyone was waiting for the return of the messiah.

But nobody was prepared.

To receive him.

The white mantle of light.

Covered her face.

It was a woman.

My mother.

I was her nameless offspring.

The great happening.

The secret pride.

The divine love.

I'm not registered.

I don't have a name.

No documents.

Those who are born without a name, can grow without fear.
