As Sexual Assault Awareness Month comes to an end, I’d like to urge viewers and filmmakers to take a long and hard look at how rape is portrayed on screen.
True Miracle
Years ago, Toma recieved widespread acclaim for saving the Croatian president from a stroke via his supernatural powers. Years later, he arrives on a small Adriatic island, intending to build the headquarters of his would-be healing organization, which he names The Temple of Pure Love. Toma uses this opportunity to scam the locals out of their money and sleep with as many women as possible, but, when his son Ante falls in love with one of these women, a local baker named Ana, the generational conflict begins to create a strong disconnect between the two.
