The Discovery of Heaven 2001 Directed by Jeroen Krabbé

Coincidence doesn't exist, everything happens for a reason.

Disappointed with humanity, God wants to revoke his contract with humanity and wants to take back the stone tablets containing the ten commandments. To this end an angel is sent out to affect the personal lives of three humans so an appropriate child may be conceived.
