Film Overview

Original Title: Miraklet i Gullspång
English Title: The Gullspång Miracle

Proving once again that truth is stranger than fiction, two Scandinavian women purchase a home from someone who looks suspiciously like their own long-departed sister, was born on the same day, and even shares the same nickname. And yet this revelation is only the beginning of this unbelievable story.When Norwegian sisters Kari and May set out on a real-estate expedition in Sweden, they end up finding much more than a house. After a series of eerie synchronicities, the women find themselves face-to-face with the seller of their chosen home… a woman who looks identical to their long-deceased older sister. Uncovering a series of family secrets, lies, and conflicting narratives, THE GULLSPÅNG MIRACLE follows this unbelievable real-life story, continually transforming as new information comes to light and taking an entirely different direction than the filmmaker originally intended. Filled with drama, discoveries, and jaw-dropping twists and turns, this documentary is deeply moving, utterly thrilling, and undeniably charming all at once. —G.S.
