Two shadow-like figures meet in an old, icy park when all seems lost. They are Deus and a Messenger from God. The Messenger gives the Crook (which is the temporary state of poor Joao de Deus) a suitcase full of money. Having accomplished his mission, he disappears. While Joao is busy counting his fortune, a heavy object plunges into the nearby lake, disturbing its tranquility. Joao goes to see what is happening and sees a young girl drowning. He plunges into the water to save her and carries the unconscious girl off to a convent. When he returns to the park, the suitcase full of money is still there waiting for him.
Also Known As: Les noces de Dieu (1999)
Joao Cesar Monteiro is no more with us. But for me he is the greatest filmmaker of all times. This film proves his talent in making absolutist comical dramas of hidden motives. He is a great actor too and has appeared in his own films on various occasions. It appears that the basic issue of this film is to ascertain whether a human being can be god or not. Everybody knows that it is difficult to be a god. Since this narrative idea is laden with umpteen elements of zany absurdity, a lot of patience is required to watch carefully the events unfold. Joao Cesar Monteiro has tackled Christian religion too in this film. The result of this conflict is delightful. There is a good cinematographic representation of old versus new too. This makes us aware of the fact that old people are full of wisdom unlike their young counterparts. This film like its filmmaker has kept a very low profile. This is the reason why it is not for people asking more and more action, happening and events.
