Das Wunder

It is an unholy family in which blind Raphaela grows up: Not only do her parents constantly argue, they also see their daughter's disability as a punishment from God. The only steadfast figure at her side is her carer Maria, who shows her a way out: prayer. Schmidt unironically mixes Sirksian melodrama, biblical parable and Bravo photo novel to create a truly unique film that leaves no one cold. (Florian Widegger)
