SYNOPSIS:

Stefan is an alcoholic con-man, who parades as a born again Christian selling personal solace for those willing to pay. Through one of his scam sessions he comes across Hasim and Urika, two homeless Russian children trying to find a way to their father living in Lyon. Offering to pay Stefan to drive them to France, the children and Stefan embark on a trip that challenges their perceptions of each other and of themselves. On the way, Stefan battles his alcoholism while the children learn what it means to trust another human being, bringing the three closer together in the midst. A film about finding compassion in the most unexpected circumstances, Miracle Seller is a testament to how caring about others enriches our own life.
