Tonio is an introspective twelve-year-old pained by the friction between his parents. While riding his bicycle one day, he's hit by a car driven by Cinzia, a troubled young woman whom Tonio sees briefly through a veil of blinding light as he loses consciousness. Emerging from his coma some days later, Tonio happens upon a dying man in the same hospital. As Tonio touches him, the man is mysteriously revived, prompting talk of miraculous healing powers. Rather than an exploration of faith, THE MIRACLE is instead an examination of how incidents of this kind play into people's need to believe or to exploit. This sympathetic and affecting tale from director Edoardo Winspeare (PIZZICATA, LIFE BLOOD) is stunningly shot amongst the brilliant industrial backdrops of coastal Taranto.
