Milagro en Roma (Miracle in Rome) is a 1988 Colombian film directed by Lisandro Duque Naranjo and based upon The long happy life of Margarito Duarte, a story by the Colombian Nobel Prize-winning novelist Gabriel García Márquez, originally published in 1981. The film follows the story of Margarito Duarte, a man whose daughter died under sudden and inexplicable circumstances. Disinterred years later, her body is discovered in pristine condition, having undergone no apparent decomposition. Unwilling to bury his daughter once again, Margarito struggles with the Vatican to have his daughter canonized as a saint.
