The Miracle of the Sargasso Sea
Syllas Tzoumerkas : 2019
To thávma tis thálassas ton Sargassón
In the small coastal town of Mesolongi in the west of Greece, two women live solitary lives while dreaming of getting away. Former elite detective Elisabeth has become the police chief – forced to relocate from Athens ten years ago, she does nothing to hide her bitterness and her hatred of the place. Rita is the quiet, mysterious sister of a lounge singer in the local disco. A worker at an eel farm, she is a captive of her social status and her manipulative brother. But then a death tears apart the already fragile network of relationships between the villagers, revealing an even more damaged structure beneath. The two women who had been ignoring each other's existence begin drifting towards each other. As the secrets hidden in the swamps begin to surface, they will have a chance to become each other's saviours. Syllas Tzoumerkas's third feature premiered in the Panorama section at Berlin International Film Festival 2019, and screened at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2019.
