TRAILER
SYNOPSIS

The hope that the difficulties of life may be overcome in a sudden and unpredictable way is common to all people.

The need to believe in miracles – a secret meeting point of all people irrespective of culture, class and religious belief.

At a time when a better understanding and peaceful coexistence between Christianity and Islam is urgently sought, thousands of different people trek up to the monastery of Saint George on Prince’s island in Istanbul in the belief that the Saint’s miraculous power will grant them whatever they request.

The documentary will explore this universal human need by focusing on the example of Saint George on Princes Island where people of different nationalities, cultures and religions share in one belief – the belief in miracles.
