THE BRAND NEW TESTAMENT
Jaco Van Dormael - Belgium - 2015
God exists and lives in Brussels, where he spends his days making human life more miserable and acting as a bastard, odious with his wife and daughter, Ea, who hopes to put a stop to this. She commandeers his computer, texting the time and date of their deaths to every living soul. For some, the news changes nothing, but for others radically change their lives. She escapes through a washing machine into the wonderland of the world where she must assemble six random apostles, thus creating a Brand New Testament. Steering clear of her wrathful dad while he is getting a taste of his own earthly medicine.
