Synopsis: "Goddess" stands for French "Déesse", the nickname of Citroën DS, the name of a famous car designed in the fifties. A young and well-situated Japanese man is dreaming of such a car, and one fine day he finds an offering on the net. He calls the seller (a man living in Australia), they agree upon the price and so he travels to Australia in order to buy the car. But when he reaches his destination, there's chaos all around: The seller as well as his wife lay dead in their house and a 17 year old girl lets him in and offers him something to eat. He walks out with horror but then comes back because he forgot to ask about the car... The girl lets him see the car, and then they start a 5 day trip through the outback, and, at the same time, a trip back in time into the early youth of the girl and into her family's chronicle.

Does anyone here know

Mommy, can you stay home tonight?

It's not gonna last that long. l

think it should be gone in a minute.

-Mommy....

-You know it 's not my night off.

Hey diddle diddle

The cat and the fiddle

The cow jumped over the moon

The little dog laughed

To see such fun

And the dish ran away with the spoon

He touched me.

He took my nightie off.

l didn't like it.

Pick the meat.

Going to stay down there tonight?

Yes.

-Mommy, the Christmas carol.

-Finish your dinner first.

Dad, don't forget your laundry.

It's all been done.

Good night, honey.

Will you rinse the dishes for me?

Do you know how to sing this song?

Away in a manger

No crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus

Lay down His sweet head

This... this is a chapel.

It's a place where you pray to God.

Do you understand?

Listen to me, honey.

Listen.

You're growing up now, okay?

Soon you're gonna

have a body like mine.

You're not a child anymore.

You are full of temptations.

You're full of sins.

You have germs in your body,

you have weeds in your head.

God created us,

but we always betray Him.

We sin.

So, what we're gonna do now is

we're gonna ask Him to forgive us.

Come on. 0n your knees.

That 's it.

-Almighty God....

-Where's He? Can l feel Him?

No, no. Come here.

Kneel down. He's everywhere.

You can only feel Him if you

listen with your heart. 0kay?

Now be a good girl.

-Almighty God...

-Almighty God....

...help us to open our hearts and

eyes so that we sinners may see....

l can't follow.

Help us to open

our hearts and eyes...

Help us to open

our hearts and eyes...

...so that we sinners may see

You reaching out to us...

...so that we....

-Sinners.

-What is...?

-Sinners.

-Sinners.

-...may see You reaching out....

Honey! You all right?

Are you all right?

Relax. It's okay.

It's okay, you just slipped.

You just slipped.

He wanted me to touch him.

He took my hands.

Ever since Adam blamed Eve

and Eve blamed the serpent...

we've been blaming

others for our sins.

It's not right.

Kneel down, honey.

Come on.

Dear Father, forgive us for leaving

You and straying off course.

Forgive us our sins and

summon us back to You.

l want to go!

You don't trust me?

You don't love your mommy?

You hurt me a lot, you know?

You break my heart.

Why do you do that?

-Gracious God...

-Gracious God...

...forgive us our sins as we

forgive those who sin against us.

...forgive us our sins as

we forgive those who sin....

Keep us from the sin of

hurting others by our words.

Honey?

Are you there?

It's time to go and pray now.
