El evangelio de las maravillas ("The Gospel of the Marvels") is a 1998 Mexican drama film directed by Arturo Ripstein.

[1] "La Nueva Jerusalem" is a small community of believers led by Papá Basilio (Rabal) and Mamá Dorita (Jurado).

They're waiting for the second coming of Christ, so they've abandoned the world, searching for a new spiritual life.

Mamá Dorita sees in young Tomasa (Gurrola) the signals of the chosen one.
