THE MIRACLE OF TEKIR
Director: Ruxandra Zenide
Monday 13 November 2017, 6.30 pm, Curzon Soho (99 Shaftesbury Avenue, London W1D 5DY)


Unmarried Mara has mysteriously fallen pregnant. This poses a problem for her fellow residents of the small fishing village on the Danube delta, where Europe’s second longest river enters the Black Sea, and religion mixes with superstition like earth with water. Expelled from her village, Mara finds employment at the nearby spa hotel Tekir where infertile women are treated with the sacred Danube mud. When her world collides with that of the well-to-do, eccentric cosmopolitan Lili, magic combines with power and tradition with modernity to become the answer to Lili’s desire to have children – and Mara’s ‘immaculate’ conception. 

Length: 88 min; Cast: Dorotheea Petre, Elina Löwensohn, Bogdan Dumitrache
The film is in Romanian with English subtitles.
