Approved

Between heaven and earth, goddess and birds discuss the future in a celestial council. The opinion is almost unanimous. It is urgent to extinguish human beings so that everything else survives. Interestingly, the devil is the only one who intercedes for humanity. Who understands the reasons that incline her towards evil, who intercedes for the maintenance of her chimerical condition, half animal, half divine, and who accepts her imperfect and fallen condition. Unable to bring his arguments to fruition in a council, where the majority continues to vote against the extinction of human beings, Mephistopheles asks the goddess how long it has been since she has set foot on Earth... in response to her answer, Mephisto takes her away. to (re)meet these poorly finished animals that she created in the hope of seeing her fall in love again with those she abandoned a long time ago.

Entre o céu e a Terra, deusa e pássaros discutem o futuro num concílio celeste. A opinião é quase unânime. Urge extinguir os seres humanos para que tudo o resto sobreviva. Curiosamente, o diabo é o único que intercede pela humanidade. Que compreende as razões que a inclinam para o mal, que intercede pela manutenção da sua condição quimérica, metade animal, metade divina, e que aceita a sua condição imperfeita e cadente. Não conseguindo levar os seus argumentos a bom porto em concílio, onde a maioria continua a votar contra a extinção dos seres humanos, Mefistófeles pergunta à deusa há quanto tempo não pousa os pés na Terra... perante a sua resposta, Mefisto leva-a a (re)conhecer esses bichos mal acabados que criou na esperança de a ver apaixonar-se de novo por aqueles que há muito abandonou.
