Deus é Brasileiro (God is Brazilian, by Carlos Diegues, Brazil, 2002, 110 min)



God is stressed and needs a break from the endless toil of minding the Earth and the troublesome human race. But before he can go on vacation, he must find a temporary replacement. To track down the person best suited for the job, God heads to Brazil, a country that, despite being very religious, has never had an official saint. Joined by a conniving fisherman and a soul-searching young woman, he embarks on a spirited road trip in search of his ideal stand-in. Directed by famed director Carlos Diegues (Bye Bye Brazil, Quilombo, Orfeu) and based on the short story by João Ubaldo Ribeiro, "O santo que não acreditava em Deus."
