Hi, Mystery Recapped here. Today I’m
going to explain a Comedy/Fantasy movie called ‘The Brand New Testament ’
Spoilers ahead! Watch out and take care! The movie is set in a world where God lives in an
apartment in Brussels with his wife and daughter Ea. He also has an elder son, Jesus Christ or
JC for short. Due to God’s controlling nature, he doesn't have a good relationship
with anyone in the family. In fact, young JC turned out to be a rebel and left
home because he wanted to do things his own way. Moreover, God has grown extremely bored
of inventing millions of kinds of creatures. Before the creation of humans, he created the
city of Brussels and filled it with animals. He soon grew bored of this as animals
didn't do anything interesting. So then he created the first man in his image, named
Adam. This man wandered aimlessly around the city for hours on end until he met the
first woman, Eve. As God had intended, they soon procreated which led to human
civilization spreading across the globe. Currently, the ten year old Ea isn't
allowed to go outside and there’s no way in or out of the apartment. God
spends most of his day in his office, which has a super computer that he uses
to control and manipulate the fate of the world. No one other than him is allowed
inside the office. God's wife is a bit of a cuckoo and never complains about anything.
She spends her days doing embroidery and looking at her baseball card collection,
which consists of exactly eighteen cards. It is also revealed that Ea, just like her brother
JC, is capable of feats of magic. One day at the dinner table, she moves a glass of water simply
with her mind and hopes this would impress her father. But God scolds her for it, probably
because he's jealous since he can't do magic. To distract himself from his monotonous life, he created humanity as toys. He sadistically
causes a lot of catastrophes to watch the humans suffer. He also writes universal laws
which causes people a lot of inconvenience. One afternoon, God accidentally leaves the
office door open so Ea sneaks inside and takes a look at his supercomputer. The divine
child is shocked at all the cruelty her father has caused. Later at dinner, she calls out her
dad for it, but this only makes him furious. He chases her around the apartment and whips
her with his belt until his anger subsides. After years of both emotional and physical
abuse, Ea finally decides to take revenge by doing something good for humanity. The next day,
she turns to the figurine of Jesus Christ in her room. She calls his name which is enough
for the figurine to change into a living, mini version of JC. She then tells him everything
and asks for advice on how to proceed. JC tells her to get some apostles, people who would spread
her teachings. He suggests that she should get six of such preachers. She can choose six random
people from God's files and then simply impress them with little miracles. Most importantly,
he suggests that she observe the lives of her apostles. This will help Ea write a Brand New
Testament that will guide humanity going forward. Before the conversation ends, JC reminds her
that God is nothing without his computer. He also tips her that she can use the washing
machine to escape from the apartment. The following night, Ea takes advantage
of God falling asleep on the couch and steals his key. She gets into his office
and takes six random humanity cards from a file in one of the cabinets. She then
uses the computer to send separate text messages to every person on the planet. In
it, she reveals the date of their deaths. Afterward, Ea changes the program password to
18 and logs out. She then goes to the washing machine, gets inside it, and finds a long
tunnel that leads to the outside world. As Ea crawls through the tunnel, the world
starts to get the texts. People initially think that it is one big prank. But as the time
passes by, several people start dying exactly on the mentioned date and time. Humanity quickly
realises that all these deaths cannot simply be coincidences. This causes absolute chaos as
everyone knows how much they have time left to live. Many of them don't even show up at work
and spend their entire time with their loved ones. Wars are abandoned and people start posting
themselves doing things they've always wanted but never dared to do before. All in all, the
world now has a greater freedom of will. Back at the apartment, God wakes up and finds
out what happened through his special TV. He immediately tries to get into his office but
realises the key is nowhere to be found. He then grabs an axe and destroys the door, only
to find out that he has been locked out of his computer. He can smell Ea's scent in the room
that ultimately takes him to the washing machine. On the other hand, Ea finally
reaches the end of the tunnel, which is inside another washing machine at
a laundromat. She leaves the building and is immediately amazed by the sights and sounds
of the outside world. Ea also enjoys the taste of a burger that she finds in a trash bin. The
spoiled meat in it makes her throw up instantly. Nearby, a homeless man named Victor finds her
puking and tries to help her. Ea asks if he can read and write. When he responds
with a ‘yes’, she assigns him as her Scribe. She then requests to be taken to the
addresses on the apostles’ files. Since Victor doesn't have anything important to do, he
agrees to accompany her on the mission. Meanwhile, God realizes that he'll have
to leave the apartment to find Ea. He knows that if she gathers followers like
JC, she could eradicate his control over humanity. Thus, he reluctantly enters
the tunnel in the washing machine. In the meantime, Victor takes Ea to see her
first apostle, Aurélie. Despite learning that she has only 11 years left to live, Aurélie
changed nothing about her life and continued as usual. She lives alone, which is
strange for a woman so beautiful. It is revealed that when she was a little girl,
her arm was ripped off by a subway car. So, she shies away from people as she
thinks people will find her creepy. Meanwhile, Ea approaches her and asks her to
talk about herself so Victor can write the lessons learned from her life for the Brand New
Testament. Aurélie finds it a bit odd but she agrees anyway. She then talks about an anecdote
of the time when she was approached by a hobo. She had thought he would rob her but instead,
he simply said "life is like a skating rink, a lot of people fall". Aurélie cries as she
tells them how that little line got stuck in her head. She thinks she fell a long time ago
and has never managed to stand after that. Moved by the story, Ea puts her ear
against the young woman's heart and tells her that a miracle will happen
soon. Later that night, in her dreams, Aurélie sees her lost hand dancing on her
kitchen table and touches it again. She finally accepts her disability and
decides to move on with her life. Meanwhile, Ea meets her second apostle,
Jean-Claude, a man who is gradually reaching his retirement age. When he was young,
Jean-Claude had an adventurous spirit. But then reality hit him and he had to work to survive.
This trapped him in a boring 9-5 corporate job, leaving him with a depressing routine
and no family. After learning he has twelve years left to live, he threw
his phone and briefcase in the trash. He is currently sitting on a bench
in a park from which he has decided to never move again. Ea notices him looking
closely at the birds on a nearby tree. She approaches the old man and reveals that she
can talk to animals. Taking this as a joke, Jean-Claude tells her to ask the bird
why it never leaves the park. The divine kid obliges and also relays the answer. The
bird says it could ask the same question to Jean-Claude as he too never leaves the park
despite having full autonomy over his legs. This greatly shocks the old man and he finally
gets up and begins following the bird around. In the meantime, God finally reaches the
laundromat. There's an old lady who freaks out upon seeing him coming out of the
washing machine. She immediately takes out her pepper spray and sprinkles it on
his face, causing him great distress. Later, God tries to grab a burger from a
trash can but a group of hooligans appear, saying it does not belong to him. They then beat him up for it and he ultimately ends
up in a hospital. In the waiting room, he snatches a kid's slice of bread and jam. So,
the mother knocks him down with her umbrella. The third apostle on the list is Marc, who has
eighty-three days left to live and is addicted to adult entertainment. His most important
childhood memory is that of a girl he saw on a beach. The beautiful lady wouldn't leave his
mind for two years after that. As he grew up, he started getting attracted to a lot
of girls. But he was never successful in getting any dates. Marc even tried
learning to talk to women by watching some online videos, but it only
made him come off as a creep. When Marc learned about his
death date, he took out all his money from the bank and decided
to use it on strip clubs. First, he paid for an escort who gave him the best
experience of his life. Ea meets him in one such club and tells him that he has a nice voice. She
suggests that he should make a living out of it. Surprisingly, the very next day, Marc is
hired as a voice actor for the adult film industry. One of his colleagues turns out to
be Xenia, the girl from the beach. The duo immediately finds a connection at work while
chatting about literature. A few days later, they go back together to his apartment,
where they fall asleep holding hands. Meanwhile, a hungry God enters a church that is
hosting a charity dinner. His entitled behaviour gets him in trouble once more when he tries to
cut the line that's serving food. The famishing hobos behind him start getting cranky and a
scuffle breaks out. Fortunately, a pastor takes God away from the crowd and gives him some food.
He also reminds the stranger that he should love his neighbour as written in the Holy Book. But
this only makes God mad as these were JC’s words, not his. He then begins saying outrageously
insulting things about Jesus Christ. This makes the otherwise friendly pastor incensed
and he starts beating the hell out of God. In the meantime, Ea searches for the fourth
apostle, François. As a middle aged man, he has twenty-five years left to live.
The day the death dates went out, he bought a rifle to shoot random people. If
it wasn't their assigned date, nothing would happen. But if they did die, then it wouldn't
be his fault because it was all prewritten. Ea and Victor find him in a park, laid
down with his rifle. As François is already selecting targets, Ea asks him to shoot a
woman that is about to walk across a nearby bridge. The woman turns out to be none other
than Aurélie. François gladly shoots but the bullet gets stuck in her prosthetic arm. But he
doesn’t know about it and thinks it's a miracle. Following this, François begins
following the beautiful woman around. He gets into an elevator with
her and even brushes his hand against her arm. But he doesn't realise it’s
fake and never dares to speak to her. After ignoring his family for the night,
François visits Aurélie the next morning. He gives her some flowers with his
number and even declares his love for her. A shocked Aurélie doesn't answer, but
she does take the flowers home with her. As Jean-Claude continues to follow his bird around
the world, Ea visits the fifth apostle, Martine. She is getting old and only has five years left
to live. It is revealed that Martine used to be quite romantic when she was young, but ended
up stuck in a boring marriage. After learning about her death date, she hired an escort,
but the experience wasn't a pleasurable one. One afternoon, Ea and Victor find her
in a hotel lobby. The divine child takes her to visit a local circus where they
meet a caged gorilla. Martine immediately makes a connection with the beast, explaining
that this is the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to her. Ea realises the gorilla
also likes her and relays the information. So, the old lady buys the beast from the
circus master and takes him home. As time passes by, the gorilla starts
realising that it is no longer in a caged environment. It develops a deep bond
with Martine and they end up kissing. Meanwhile, Aurélie finally calls François
and invites him over to her home. She shows him the bullet scar on the prosthetic arm
during lunch. The guy is shocked to learn that her arm isn’t real but he doesn’t care as
he’s in deep love with the woman. Therefore, he kisses her arm, and they end
up spending the night together. Elsewhere, Jean-Claude keeps on following
his bird which has now found a flock. The last apostle is Willy, a young child who
has only fifty-four days left. He has always been sick and even got surgery to remove his
tumour. When he learned about his death date, Willy decided to embrace his real identity
and started dressing like a girl. When Ea and Victor meet the kid, he only has
a little over a week remaining to live. She gives him a shiny fish as a gift, which makes
him very happy. He now wants to take it to the ocean and release it. The two children also begin
hanging out together as they're the same age. During this week, the final stage of Ea’s divine
plan starts rolling into action. On Monday, Willy sells all of his parents’ furniture and
heads to a beach to release his shiny fish. On Tuesday, François vows to stop killing and
spend his life with Aurélie. The next day, the gorilla scares Martine's husband away and
they spend the night together. On Thursday, Marc and Xenia get intimate for the first
time. The following day, Jean-Claude reaches the Arctic region, where the flock forms
an arrow to guide him to a local woman. On Saturday, the angry priest loads
God in a plane along with the other immigrants that are to be deported to
Uzbekistan. As it flies above the city, Ea and some of her apostles take Willy
to the beach so he can die at the sea. Meanwhile, God's wife is happy as it seems
he won't be coming home. She puts on some music and dances to it while cleaning. She
even dares to go to his office to vacuum the floor. The wife then unplugs the computer so
she can connect in the vacuum cleaner instead. This surprisingly causes Willy to not die even
when his predetermined time comes. Up above in the sky, the plane that God is in starts losing
altitude and begins dipping towards the beach. But at that moment, the Wife finishes
cleaning and connects the computer again. This starts the whole system from
the beginning. All the previously scheduled deaths are overruled and the
computer asks for a password. Curious, she types eighteen, which prompts the
computer to welcome her as the Goddess. Meanwhile, God's plane also regains altitude
and everyone loses the text message with their life countdown. The Goddess then uses
the computer to make the world a nicer, more beautiful place. The skies are now filled
with flowers, people can walk on the bottom of the ocean, gravity is flexible and the ice caps
stop melting regardless of global warming. The final scene shows the aftermath of the
Goddesses taking over. Martine has a baby with the gorilla, Victor becomes a renowned
author by publishing the Brand New Testament, and François gets pregnant with Aurélie's baby. Meanwhile, God is stuck in an Uzbek factory, where he checks every washing
machine, hoping for a way out.
