Divine Love (2019) is a Brazilian arthouse drama directed by Gabriel Mascaro, set in a near-future society shaped by evangelical religion and state control. The film follows a devout civil servant whose belief in faith-based love rituals clashes with bureaucracy, sexuality, and personal desire. Blending social commentary with psychological drama, the film explores religion, intimacy, and power in contemporary Brazil. Divine Love was screened at the Sundance Film Festival and is known for its provocative portrayal of faith and modern relationships.

From Gabriel Mascaro, director of the award-winning Neon Bull and The Blue Trail, recent winner of the Silver Bear at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival.

In a dystopian vision of Brazil, a deeply religious woman who uses her position to save struggling couples from divorce. Whilst waiting for a sign in recognition of her efforts, she is confronted with a crisis and a revelation that will either lead her to question everything she believes or bring her even closer to God.

Divine Love is a timely commentary on the current conservative, fanatical and nationalist agendas prevalent throughout the world and the choices we have to reject or succumb to them.

Från IMDB:
A woman uses her bureaucratic job to convince divorcing couples to stay together and is utterly committed to getting pregnant by her husband in a future of dance parties, ritualistic orgies and fundamentalist Christianity.
