The Miracle of the Sargasso Sea

F Watchlist

What begins as a rough thriller with the hardened policewoman Elisabeth, soon turns into an increasingly unstoppable and sinister chamber piece set in a remote part of Greece, where Elisabeth’s loneliness strangely intersects with the fate of Rita, the sister of the local night club singer and drug enthusiast Manolis, whose sudden death has brought excitement to the sleepy town of Mesolongi. Tzoumerkas takes a both metaphorical and direct approach to his favourite topics such as identity, belonging and family, the private and the political.
