A divine premonition leads two sisters, Kari and May, to buy an apartment in the small Swedish town of Gullspång. To their surprise, Olaug, the seller, looks identical to their older sister who died by suicide 30 years earlier. What begins as an eerie story of family reunification transforms into a stranger-than-fiction-drama about identity as all three women's lives spiral out of control. The protagonists’ desire to define their own truths becomes more important than knowing what is really true. Replete with comically awkward situations and one engrossing revelation after another, The Gullspång Miracle is a deft exploration of identity and the consequences of stubborn beliefs. . It is a reminder of the strangeness of life and the magic in existence.
