Synopsis
In a heartfelt exploration of faith, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between mother and child, this poignant drama weaves together two narratives that resonate with emotion and profound spiritual significance. Maria Auxiliadora, a struggling single mother, faces the harrowing uncertainty of her daughter Joana's health as they navigate the challenges of poverty. When Maria must leave Joana in the care of a local priest to seek vital medical information, the young girl’s anxiety is palpable. To comfort her, the priest embarks on an unexpected journey through time, sharing the timeless story of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. As Joana listens, the film interlaces her own struggles with the trials faced by Mary, revealing themes of maternal devotion, resilience, and hope. This dual narrative not only captivates but also invites viewers to reflect on the sacrifices made by mothers throughout history and the enduring power of love. With its rich character development and emotional depth, the film offers a unique perspective that transcends its religious undertones, making it a touching watch for anyone who appreciates the complexities of family dynamics and the strength found in faith.
