The Miracle Child

Silvia Brunelli’s The Miracle Child is based loosely on Vincenzo Restivo’s eponymous novel and tells of nine year old Annaluce (Sofia Guastaferro) who, much to the astonishment of her working class Neapolitan neighbourhood, one day finds she is able to perform miracles. The film chronicles the impact Annaluce’s ‘gift’ has on the community and her own family, including big brother Lino (Francesco Pellegrino). Brunelli’s micro-budget feature is a thoroughly modern fairytale and an assured, offbeat debut.

Contains scenes of a sexual nature.
