Synopsis

The protagonist of "All it takes is a miracle" is a man whos reached rock bottom in life and society, though he doesnt lack dignity. He refuses to accept charity and he does his morning exercise, he makes a living collecting cans and exists without a home, personal number or social control. In itself quite an achievement in todays Sweden. The film is about this man getting one last chance as he unexpectedly receives a large amount of money. About his path to reconciliation with the people he thinks he let down thirty years ago. Its a journey filled with temptation and ambivalence, but also an important friendship with a young hitchhiking girl. The film will be absurd and filled with humour. A bright tale on a black canvas, at a human pace.
