The Miracle of the Sargasso Sea (Greek: Το Θαύμα της Θάλασσας των Σαργασσών), is a 2019 thriller/drama Greek film with horror and surrealist elements, directed by Syllas Tzoumerkas. It tells the story of two women— a police woman and an eel hatchery worker— whose solitary lives cross when a circle of violence erupts in the poor, small town of Western Greece where they live. Angeliki Papoulia, Youla Boudali and Christos Passalis lead the film's ensemble cast.[1]
Tzoumerkas' third film after Homeland (Hora Proelefsis, 2010) and A Blast (2014), The Miracle of the Sargasso Sea had its world premiere at the Panorama section of the 69th Berlinale.[2]
