A teacher at a Catholic school in Glasgow remains a committed atheist himself. He has no time for his colleagues' efforts to have the supposed miracle worker the school is named after canonised. However, he soon has no choice in the matter when he inexplicably recovers from what should have been a fatal brain tumour, which is only the first in a series of miraculous events. Comedy drama, starring Tom Conti and Helen Mirren
A delightful British film about miracles and religion, sharply written and directed by Charles Gormley. Tom Conti is the teacher at a Glasgow Catholic school who gets caught up in possible miraculous goings-on and then finds himself at the mercy of his colleagues and the media in this well-realised satire. Odd and often hilarious, this treat of a movie features terrific performances from a cast which includes David Hayman, Helen Mirren and Trainspotting's Ewen Bremner.
