Miracle

About This Movie

Miracle has a unique charm, set in this little post-Communist town where all hope seems lost. Irena, played with a gritty realism that feels genuine, grapples with her failing pig farm. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere and the struggles of the characters. There's a blend of comedy and drama that feels authentic, not forced; moments of levity emerge amidst the weight of financial despair. The American benefactor adds an interesting layer, representing both opportunity and the clash of cultures. The cinematography captures the small-town vibe beautifully, which is an essential part of this film's identity. It’s a slice of life you don’t see often, touching on themes of resilience and hope without the usual sentimentality.

Directed by Eglė Vertelytė · Shot on location in Lithuania · Features a mix of local and international cast · Runtime: 90 minutes
