Good Favour (2017) - full transcript
Rebbeca Daly's subtle and brilliantly realized parable , a teenage stranger welcomed into a household in a devout Catholic village gradually reveals his motives and what seem to be magical powers
Who are you?
- Hey!
What were you doing in there?
Who are you?!
Eh?
What were you doing in there?
Come on, get up!
Hey!
- What are you doing, son?
- He was in your house.
Come on.
Come on, get up!
- Hans.
Hey...
You don't need to be scared.
Don't be afraid.
Okay?
- Try to breathe through it.
Breathe slowly.
That's it.
That's it.
Time to go home, boys.
He was in the house.
She shouldn't be left alone.
- Mom wasn't disturbed.
You must handle yourself better.
- I've been replaced
on the Council.
Yes.
Joseph will take over
for a while.
Of course.
- It's getting late, Shosanna.
Put the girls to bed.
- How is he?
- He's sleeping.
His fever has gone down,
it should break overnight.
- And the wound?
- It's not serious,
he'll be fine.
- Good.
- You're leaving him here?
- Yes.
- But we know nothing about him.
- He's in need.
Do you mind him staying here,
Maria?
- No.
- Bring him to the Council in
the morning.
Good night.
- Good night, Mikkel.
- Take care, Hans.
Come on, Anne.
Second door
on the right.
- Come in.
Have a seat.
You can sit down.
Do you speak English?
Do you understand?
- Yes.
- Good.
Good.
So, let me start by saying
all those in need
are welcome here.
Once you contribute to and
can adapt to community life,
you may stay as long
as you want.
Here, every day, we seek the
face of God.
We tell Him that we're willing
to do as He wants us to do.
We pray that He will
show us His way.
Can you tell me your name?
- Tom.
- Tom.
Where are you from, Tom?
Where were you before you came
here, Tom?
- I've been...
I've been in the woods.
- What about your family?
- Where are your parents?
- They're dead.
- What about other family?
- There's no one else.
Are you all right?
- Can I have some water?
- Yes, of course.
Joseph.
Sometimes our experiences
leave us
unable to speak about them.
It's okay.
- The smoke calms them.
See, that's where the queen has
laid eggs.
There.
And there.
Look how big they are.
That's where they've
sealed them up already.
- Ah!
It hurts.
- The more you get
stung, the less it hurts.
It doesn't wanna come out.
Now, suck out the venom.
Quick, before it sets
in and gets really sore.
Mikkel says we shouldn't
be afraid to suffer.
When we fell over as children,
he'd sit us on his knee
and scrub out the dirt
from the cut with a toothbrush.
He asked us to tell the story
of Jesus carrying the cross
while he was doing it,
so we'd remember our
suffering was nothing.
I hardly feel them anymore.
- The gospel shows us
that God always has a plan
for His people.
It reminds us that
even in times of hardship
He never forgets us.
We have been tried recently.
Tried a lot.
But our strength is to
be found in each other.
We must remember that.
God's work is present
in every child's smile,
in every calf born,
in every small and great
moment of every day.
Tom?
Tom found us yesterday.
I let him know that all those
in need are welcome here.
God in His wisdom is
allowing Tom to start afresh.
As Paul said to the Corinthians,
"Therefore if any man
be in Christ,
"he is a new creature.
"The old self in
drowned in baptism."
A new beginning
is a precious thing.
I hope you will make
him feel welcome.
Welcome, Tom.
- Welcome, Tom.
Let us pray.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Why are we with the kids?
- We're not baptized
until we're 18.
You'll get used to it.
It help us to live better.
- Your Opa is here.
Will you go and sit with Oma?
- Oh!
No, no, no, no, I'll manage!
No, give it!
Between your fingers.
Here, you too.
If you touched
your eyes,
you have to wash your
hands straight after, okay?
That is important.
Yes.
- Good girls.
Okay, come on.
Okay.
- I don't like it.
- I know.
- No!
No!
- You will be fine.
You'll be fine.
Marta.
Try to stay still.
Marta, please.
Marta, come on.
- I can hold her?
If you'd like.
- Okay.
Thank you.
- Okay.
Try to stay still.
Are you brave enough?
Okay.
- Thanks for letting me stay.
Come on.
Come on, come on.
- Go on, pick it up.
Put the lid back properly.
- Now you have to be very quiet.
Don't make a sound.
Don't move a muscle.
Shh, he's coming.
Tom!
- We're not allowed
to go that far!
- There's people in there
with the Devil in them.
How did you
get your wound?
- How did you find us?
- Mark.
- How long were
you in the woods?
- He doesn't remember.
- You're not in charge.
- Every day is the
same in there.
It all looks the same.
Sometimes I walk for days
and sleep for a long time.
I never knew how
long had passed.
- Did you see anyone
else in there?
- You don't have to answer them.
- Isaac got lost in there.
- Marta.
- Who's Isaac?
- Hans's son.
- Stop.
Stop it.
- It was God's punishment,
for what Anne did.
- And Hans.
- I'll have to bring her home.
- He must be dead.
Don't say that!
Now stop crying!
I can't carry you.
- Okay, children...
We need to come in line.
Hey, hey.
Need to come in line.
In line, everybody.
You too, Ollie, come, in line.
Come, also in line.
Elizabeth, Marta.
Good.
Now listen, and be ready
to sing it back to me.
Shosanna, will you
sing the scale?
- Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do.
- Good.
And...
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do.
- Very good.

- All right, all right then.
- Give me your hands.
One here.
Are you settling in okay?
- Yes.
- There now.
Well, if you need anything,
you know, you can ask me.
- Thank you.
- Sophia took me under her
wing when I first joined.
The front fields used
to be my family's farm.
My parents died when I was 17.
The community took me in.
Pull the sheet up to her chin,
and fold back, that's right.
Everyone is taken care of here,
like a family.
I don't know how I
would have managed
if they hadn't come for me.
Lift her arm out from
under the sheet.
What happened?
- I must have fallen.
Mikkel says, "We shouldn't
be afraid to suffer."
- Yes.
That's right.
- Are you hungry, Oma?
- Don't do that.
- The kids made some
pictures for you, Mom.
They were worried you
couldn't see outside.
They all wanted to come
and show them to you.
But we thought we'd give
Marta and Elizabeth the job,
didn't we, girls?
- Yep.
- Yes, Oma.
- Yes.
There's more color
in her cheeks.
- Yes.
- Joseph is going to
town on Thursday.
Let me know the supplies
you need before then.
- I'll make the list tomorrow.
- I want to take
her to the hospital.
- Maria is taking care of her.
- It's too much for Maria.
She needs to see a doctor.
- Come on, get down.
Come on.
- You know what she would want.
- If we had asked for help,
we might have found Isaac.
- We won't put her into
the care of strangers.
We must pray,
we must put our trust in God.
God,
- God...
We're willing to
act as You want us to act,
to speak as You want
us to speak.
- Hey, hey.
Come over here,
gonna show you a trick.
Come on.
Come on.
Go here, here.
Come over here, come on.
- Watch carefully.
Where do you feel my pulse?
Can you feel it?
- Yes.
And now?
- No.
- So what are you
doing back here?
- Tom's magic.
- Is he?
Where's Jacob?
Jacob, come with me, come.
- Tick-tack-boom, come,
in the middle.
- Tick, tack, tick, tack,
- Hurry, hurry, hurry!
- Tick, tack, boom!
- That's okay, go again.
- Tick, tack, tick, tack boom!
Tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick-tack-boom!
Tick, tack, tick,
tack, tick, tack
tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick-tack-boom!
Tick, tack, tick, tack, tick,
tack, boom!
Tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick, tack, tick,
tack, tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick-tack-boom!
Tick, tack, tick, tack, tick,
tack, boom!
- Come on, Jacob.
- Tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick, tack.
- Uncle Mark is gonna
sit with you.
Try and get a good
price for it, Catherine.
Aren't you coming?
- I can manage.
- Race you to the middle!
Don't be stupid!
- What were you
doing at the lake?
- We were swimming.
- Just you and Shosanna?
- Yes.
Are you upset?
- No, I trust Shosanna.
This won't heal, if you
keep getting it wet.
Shosanna is different
than other girls
you might have met before.
We live differently here.
- I know that.
- Good.
Shosanna will change the
dressings
every couple of days.
Keep it dry.
- Catherine must have got
a good price for the honey.
- What?
- The whole family are gone.
Joseph waited for hours,
but they never turned up.
- They took the pick-up truck.
Joseph and Mark had to
ask for a lift back.
- Lot's wife professed
the true religion.
Her husband was a righteous man.
She left Sodom with him
the day it was destroyed,
but she looked back
towards the city
against God's clear command.
She turned her back on God.
She was struck dead at once,
and turned into a
pillar of salt.
And our Lord Jesus Christ
makes an example of her
by saying,
"Remember Lot's wife."
Remember Lot's wife.
It's a solemn warning,
if we think of the
person Jesus names.
He points to one whose
soul was lost for ever.
And it's a solemn warning
if we consider the subject
Jesus is addressing.
He's speaking of his
own second coming
to judge the world.
He speaks of the terrible state
of unpreparedness in
which many will be found.
Judgment is on his
mind when he says,
"Remember Lot's wife."
Our Lord Jesus is full of love,
of mercy and compassion.
He could pray for those who
crucified him.
He could weep over
unbelieving Jerusalem,
yet even he thinks it right
to give this solemn warning,
and remind us of lost souls.
Even he says,
"Remember Lot's wife."
Jesus reminds us that those
who do not trust
completely in God,
not only cannot
expect his protection,
but should expect his judgment.
- Who fired?
Are you okay?
It was Joseph.
- Sorry, it was me.
I don't know what happened.
A stupid accident.
I'm sorry.
- No harm done.
Let's keep moving.
- I baptize you in the name of
the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Okay, who's next?
- Me.
You do it.
- I don't know the words.
- Come on, Mark will
tell you what to say.
- Do you reject Satan?
- I do.
- And all his works?
- I do.
- And all his empty promises?
- I do.
- Do you believe in God?
- Do you believe in God?
- The Father Almighty
- The Father Almighty
- Creator of Heaven and Earth.
- Creator of Heaven and Earth?
- I do.
- Do you believe in
Jesus Christ,
his only son, who was
born from the Virgin Mary?
- Who was crucified...
- Who was crucified...
- Died,
- Died,
- was buried,
- was buried,
- rose from the dead,
- rose from the dead,
and is now seated at the
right hand of his Father?
- I do.
- I baptize you
- I baptize you
- in the name of the Father
- in the name of the Father
- and of the Son,
- and of the Son,
- and of the Holy Ghost.
- And of the Holy Ghost.
- Amen!
- Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen!
Amen!
Amen!
Amen!
Amen, amen, amen, amen!
- Shosanna?
Come on.
Come on.
- Therefore, to keep me
from being too elated,
a thorn was given
me in the flesh.
A messenger of
Satan to torment me.
Three times I appealed
to the Lord about this,
that it would leave me.
But he said to me,
he said to me,
"My grace is sufficient for you.
"For power is made
perfect in weakness.
"Therefore, I am content.
- Therefore, I am content.
- With weaknesses
- with weaknesses
- insults, hardships,
- insults, hardships,
- persecutions,
- persecutions,
and calamities,
for the sake of Christ.
For whenever I am weak,
then I am strong.
- "My sheep, hear my
voice," says the Lord.
- What were the children
doing in chapel this evening?
- The heat makes them restless.
- They were looking at Tom.
- Why are you suspicious of him?
- I just wonder how long he's
gonna be staying with us.
For as long as
necessary.
If you don't like it, you
should take it up with Mikkel.
- Mikkel knows best.
Please tell
her to stop.
- She's suffering.
- I am your wife, Hans.
- Hello there.
- They're not here.
- Really?
Where are they, then?
- Went in the pick-up.
- When?
- Opa waved to me.
- Mom?
- Marta?
What is it?
Ma?
Amen, amen, amen!
- Don't worry, Dolly.
Tom will find Oma and Opa.
- He's magic.
What are you two
talking about?
- He can do special things.
- What special things?
What do you mean?
What do you mean, Marta?
What happened?
- Tom woke her up.
- He woke who up?
- Shosanna.
- What are you talking about?
- She drowned.
- He, he, he prayed on her.
- Why didn't you tell
me this before?
Did Tom tell you not to?
No.
- Don't push her head.
Don't swim.
- He ran out in front
of me, I couldn't stop.
- Ma?
Should have come to me.
- You're right.
I'm sorry.
- Come on, help me.
- Please, son, we can still
bring her to the hospital.
Please!
- Get in the car, Dad.
- Mom?
Mom...
Mom, can you hear me?
Mom?
- What are you doing out here?
What happened back there?
Are you okay?
Sophia's doing well.
Sometimes I come out
here into the fields
just to remind myself
that God is all around.
The children say you
brought Shosanna back.
Can I see?
How did you get these?
- I don't know.
And they
keep on bleeding.
- Yes.
- No-no-no.
That's okay.
God is always trying to
show us his path.
I baptize you
in the name of the Father,
of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost.
Amen.
- I thank God for you, Tom.
- I thank God for you, Tom.
- I thank God for you, Tom.
- I thank God for you, Tom.
I thank God for you,
Tom.
- I thank God for you, Tom.
Thank God for you,
Tom.

Do you mind him staying here,

- Isaac got lost in there.
- Marta.
- Who's Isaac?
- Hans's son.
- Stop.
Stop it.
- It was God's punishment,
for what Anne did.
- And Hans.
- I'll have to bring her home.
- He must be dead.
Don't say that!
Now stop crying!
I can't carry you.
- Okay, children...
We need to come in line.
Hey, hey.
Need to come in line.
In line, everybody.
You too, Ollie, come, in line.
Come, also in line.
Elizabeth, Marta.

My parents died when I was 17.
The community took me in.
Pull the sheet up to her chin,
and fold back, that's right.
Everyone is taken care of here,
like a family.
I don't know how I
would have managed
if they hadn't come for me.
Lift her arm out from
under the sheet.
What happened?
- I must have fallen.
Mikkel says, "We shouldn't
be afraid to suffer."
- Yes.
That's right.
- Are you hungry, Oma?
- Don't do that.
- The kids made some
pictures for you, Mom.
They were worried you
couldn't see outside.
They all wanted to come
and show them to you.
But we thought we'd give
Marta and Elizabeth the job,
didn't we, girls?
- Yep.
- Yes, Oma.
- Yes.
There's more color
in her cheeks.
- Yes.
- Joseph is going to
town on Thursday.
Let me know the supplies
you need before then.
- I'll make the list tomorrow.
- I want to take
her to the hospital.
- Maria is taking care of her.
- It's too much for Maria.
She needs to see a doctor.
- Come on, get down.
Come on.
- You know what she would want.
- If we had asked for help,
we might have found Isaac.
- We won't put her into
the care of strangers.
We must pray,
we must put our trust in God.
God,
- God...
We're willing to
act as You want us to act,
to speak as You want
us to speak.
- Hey, hey.
Come over here,
gonna show you a trick.
Come on.
Come on.
Go here, here.
Come over here, come on.
- Watch carefully.
Where do you feel my pulse?
Can you feel it?
- Yes.
And now?
- No.
- So what are you
doing back here?
- Tom's magic.
- Is he?
Where's Jacob?
Jacob, come with me, come.
- Tick-tack-boom, come,
in the middle.
- Tick, tack, tick, tack,
- Hurry, hurry, hurry!
- Tick, tack, boom!
- That's okay, go again.
- Tick, tack, tick, tack boom!
Tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick-tack-boom!
Tick, tack, tick,
tack, tick, tack
tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick-tack-boom!
Tick, tack, tick, tack, tick,
tack, boom!
Tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick, tack, tick,
tack, tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick-tack-boom!
Tick, tack, tick, tack, tick,
tack, boom!
- Come on, Jacob.
- Tick, tack, tick, tack,
tick, tack, tick, tack.
- Uncle Mark is gonna
sit with you.
Try and get a good
price for it, Catherine.
Aren't you coming?
- I can manage.
- Race you to the middle!
Don't be stupid!
- What were you
doing at the lake?
- We were swimming.
- Just you and Shosanna?
- Yes.
Are you upset?
- No, I trust Shosanna.
This won't heal, if you
keep getting it wet.
Shosanna is different
than other girls
you might have met before.
We live differently here.
- I know that.
- Good.
Shosanna will change the
dressings
every couple of days.
Keep it dry.
- Catherine must have got
a good price for the honey.
- What?
- The whole family are gone.
Joseph waited for hours,
but they never turned up.
- They took the pick-up truck.
Joseph and Mark had to
ask for a lift back.
- Lot's wife professed
the true religion.
Her husband was a righteous man.
She left Sodom with him
the day it was destroyed,
but she looked back
towards the city
against God's clear command.
She turned her back on God.
She was struck dead at once,
and turned into a
pillar of salt.
And our Lord Jesus Christ
makes an example of her
by saying,
"Remember Lot's wife."
Remember Lot's wife.
It's a solemn warning,
if we think of the
person Jesus names.
He points to one whose
soul was lost for ever.
And it's a solemn warning
if we consider the subject
Jesus is addressing.
He's speaking of his
own second coming
to judge the world.
He speaks of the terrible state
of unpreparedness in
which many will be found.
Judgment is on his
mind when he says,
"Remember Lot's wife."
Our Lord Jesus is full of love,
of mercy and compassion.
He could pray for those who
crucified him.
He could weep over
unbelieving Jerusalem,
yet even he thinks it right
to give this solemn warning,
and remind us of lost souls.
Even he says,
"Remember Lot's wife."
Jesus reminds us that those
who do not trust
completely in God,
not only cannot
expect his protection,
but should expect his judgment.
- Who fired?
Are you okay?
It was Joseph.
- Sorry, it was me.
I don't know what happened.
A stupid accident.
I'm sorry.
- No harm done.
Let's keep moving.
- I baptize you in the name of
the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Okay, who's next?
- Me.
You do it.
- I don't know the words.
- Come on, Mark will
tell you what to say.
- Do you reject Satan?
- I do.
- And all his works?
- I do.
- And all his empty promises?
- I do.
- Do you believe in God?
- Do you believe in God?
- The Father Almighty
- The Father Almighty
- Creator of Heaven and Earth.
- Creator of Heaven and Earth?
- I do.
- Do you believe in
Jesus Christ,
his only son, who was
born from the Virgin Mary?
- Who was crucified...
- Who was crucified...
- Died,
- Died,
- was buried,
- was buried,
- rose from the dead,
- rose from the dead,
and is now seated at the
right hand of his Father?
- I do.
- I baptize you
- I baptize you
- in the name of the Father
- in the name of the Father
- and of the Son,
- and of the Son,
- and of the Holy Ghost.
- And of the Holy Ghost.
- Amen!
- Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen!
Amen!
Amen!
Amen!
Amen, amen, amen, amen!
- Shosanna?
Come on.
Come on.
- Therefore, to keep me
from being too elated,
a thorn was given
me in the flesh.
A messenger of
Satan to torment me.
Three times I appealed
to the Lord about this,
that it would leave me.
But he said to me,
he said to me,
"My grace is sufficient for you.
"For power is made
perfect in weakness.
"Therefore, I am content.
- Therefore, I am content.
- With weaknesses
- with weaknesses
- insults, hardships,
- insults, hardships,
- persecutions,
- persecutions,
and calamities,
for the sake of Christ.
For whenever I am weak,
then I am strong.
- "My sheep, hear my
voice," says the Lord.
- What were the children
doing in chapel this evening?
- The heat makes them restless.
- They were looking at Tom.
- Why are you suspicious of him?
- I just wonder how long he's
gonna be staying with us.
For as long as
necessary.
If you don't like it, you
should take it up with Mikkel.
- Mikkel knows best.
Please tell
her to stop.
- She's suffering.
- I am your wife, Hans.
- Hello there.
- They're not here.
- Really?
Where are they, then?
- Went in the pick-up.
- When?
- Opa waved to me.
- Mom?
- Marta?
What is it?
Ma?
Amen, amen, amen!
- Don't worry, Dolly.
Tom will find Oma and Opa.
- He's magic.
What are you two
talking about?
- He can do special things.
- What special things?
What do you mean?
What do you mean, Marta?
What happened?
- Tom woke her up.
- He woke who up?
- Shosanna.
- What are you talking about?
- She drowned.
- He, he, he prayed on her.
- Why didn't you tell
me this before?
Did Tom tell you not to?
No.
- Don't push her head.
Don't swim.
- He ran out in front
of me, I couldn't stop.
- Ma?
Should have come to me.
- You're right.
I'm sorry.
- Come on, help me.
- Please, son, we can still
bring her to the hospital.
Please!
- Get in the car, Dad.
- Mom?
Mom...
Mom, can you hear me?
Mom?
- What are you doing out here?
What happened back there?
Are you okay?
Sophia's doing well.
Sometimes I come out
here into the fields
just to remind myself
that God is all around.
The children say you
brought Shosanna back.
Can I see?
How did you get these?
- I don't know.
And they
keep on bleeding.
- Yes.
- No-no-no.
That's okay.
God is always trying to
show us his path.
I baptize you
in the name of the Father,
of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost.
Amen.
- I thank God for you, Tom.
- I thank God for you, Tom.
- I thank God for you, Tom.
- I thank God for you, Tom.
I thank God for you,
Tom.
- I thank God for you, Tom.
Thank God for you,
Tom.

"But whoever disowns
me before others,
"I will disown before

"Do not suppose that I have come

"I did not come to bring
peace, but a sword.
"For I have come to turn
a man against his father,
"a daughter against her mother.
"A man's enemies will be the
members of his own household.
"Whoever does not take up
their cross and follow me
"is not worthy of me.
"Whoever finds their
life will lose it.
"And whoever loses their life
for my sake, will find it."
