Time of Miracles

The film opens in September 1945. The war has just ended and the government has changed. The new authorities go into the church in the town. The flag of the Party is hung inside. The old frescoes on the wall are painted over. But the paint does not hold. The frescoes come back every time. A stranger arrives in the town as well. The man does things out of the ordinary. People begin to believe he is the Messiah. The authorities look for an explanation for it. Believers and officials come face to face. The account is built on that tension. Predrag Manojlović and Dragan Maksimović take the leads. The film was adapted from a novel by Borislav Pekić. Goran Paskaljević’s British and Yugoslav coproduction was finished in 1989.
