Sometimes the need to believe in miracles outweighs religious labels. Each
year thousands of Muslim pilgrims visit the Monastery of St. George on
Prince’s island, off Istanbul’s coast, to pray before Christian icons and ask the
Saint for favours. Through striking visuals and intimate stories of both
Muslims and Christians, the film reveals how the human desire for miracles
can overcome cultural, political and religious divides.
