Of Saints and Miracles

Marcelino lives alone on his parents' farm, set deep in the beautiful but impoverished countryside of northern Spain.

It's the place where he grew up, the place where he doted on his beloved baby brother and protected his mother from his father's drunken rages.

But when Marcelino's brother tricks him out of his house and land, a moment of anger sparks a chain of events that can't be reversed.

Marcelino flees to the wild peaks of rural Asturias, becoming a cult hero as he evades authorities.

Into this unconventional crime story, Astur weaves fables about the sun and the moon, tales of death and love, and reveals a community and a way of life that may soon be lost.

Of Saints and Miracles is a sensuous and poetic portrayal of an outcast's struggle to survive in a changing world, and a seamless blend of the tragic and the majestic.
