A Dog's Will
2000, Portuguese. Directed by Guel Arraes.
Lying with faith is not always a sin.
The lively João Grilo and the sly Chicó are poor guys living in the hinterland who cheat a bunch of people in a small town in Northeastern Brazil. When they die, they have to be judged by Christ, the Devil and the Virgin Mary before they are admitted to paradise.
