Hoping for a miracle, 500 disabled persons make a pilgrimage from St. Mary’s Church in Katowice to Lourdes, France in an over-crowded train. Their journey lasts several days. Details of the trip are handled by a Catholic bishop and twelve priests who accompany them. This chronicle of their odyssey documents modern-day accoutrements such as sermons en route and blessings by intercom.

Jarek Sztandera was born in 1974 in Poland. He is a senior at The Polish National Filmschool in Lodz, Poland. “FOR A MIRACLE”, his second year documentary, has won several national and international short film awards.
