Director's statement

When I conceived "Divine Love", I wanted to imagine a near-future Brazil where religion, technology, and state power merge in subtle but invasive ways. Through the story of Joana, a deeply devout woman working in a registry office, I explored how faith can both liberate and confine. Her longing for motherhood becomes entangled with institutional control and collective rituals. **The film ultimately questions** how intimacy and belief are shaped by ideology, and how desire can be redirected by systems that promise salvation. By blending sensuality, spirituality, and satire, I sought to reflect on the politics of the body and the fragile boundary between devotion and oppression.
