Synopsis

A group of strangely costumed heroes set out on a journey to find a miracle in this absurdist lo-fi musical roadmovie by the politically engaged art collective Chto Delat. Their experimental flashmob, staged in the former German mining town of Hettstedt, channels the political anxieties of our times.
