The Gullspång Miracle & Wander to wonder | Double Bill

The Gullspång Miracle is a delightful, cheerful, unparalleled exciting documentary. A story so full of surprises, eccentric characters and incredible events that only a Scandinavian writer could make them up. Only now it is real.

Norwegian sisters Kari and May buy an apartment in the Swedish hamlet of Gullspång. To their amazement, the seller Olaug looks exactly like their older sister, who committed suicide in 1988. She even has the same nickname, Lita. The devout sisters immediately think of a miracle. This was meant to be. The lonely Olaug is welcomed with open arms into the large, warm family of Kari and May. This is just the beginning of a phenomenal rollercoaster in which coincidences and revelations follow each other in ever greater succession. The deeper the sisters dig into the family history, the stranger, more exciting and scarier it becomes.

Inimitable as life itself, the plot of the film changes several times. A fascinating family drama becomes a Coen Brothers comedy, a genuine true crime and finally Twin Peaks in real life. Nothing is what it seems. Or is it? The Gullspång Miracle is a completely fascinating film, full of comically uncomfortable situations and has leading actors that a feature film director would kill for. A film about the complexity of family ties, identity and the persistence of beliefs. A film that you will talk about for a long time after watching it.
