Los jueves, milagro

Beautiful movie about the story of how a silly lie to take advantage of others can end up in a distressful nightmare. The prominent men of a small Spanish town decide to fake a miracle to increase the affluence of tourists to this town, long time back famous for its spa. Brilliant treatment of a well spread social reality in Spain as it is the reduction of population of small rural villages. The lack of communication of the town is shown by a daily train that passes by making a lot of noise but without even decreasing slightly the speed. Great treatment of characters. On one side the prominent, arrogant, greedy men of town daring to do anything to get a little more of money and on the other side the innocent, forgotten and needy people daring to believe anything to make their life more liveable. Food for thoughts and feelings. Enjoy!
