Pastoral theologian
I saw the film. It is remarkable. Sensitive and burning topics are addressed head‑on, with finesse, without bias, and sometimes with a touch of humor that softens the gravity of the scenes: the Church, abortion and society, adoption, suffering and faith, lack of belief and doubt, the coexistence of religions (Christianity, Hinduism, Islam), war, social crises, illness and poverty, etc. All of this is perfectly woven into a dramatic plot that reminds us that love is the universal meeting point between human beings.
The figure of Mother Teresa surprises us with her vulnerability, her crisis of faith, her inner loneliness despite the support of those around her, a kind of permanent melancholy due to the absence of her mother, and even a sense of powerlessness and at times failure — which is brilliantly balanced by the character of Kavita. She is like a promise of life within this social chaos of misery and poverty. Her own story, that of a survivor, places her, in the face of her tragedies, at the service of life…
Bravo to Mr. Musale, who has succeeded in turning such complex characters and delicate subjects into a coherent whole that can only move and edify!
