Dragojevic, who is also a poet and for a short time worked as a psychotherapist, sees the film as being about the development of the Balkan region. “The 90s were a time of war. In the 2000s, there was some kind of new era, a transition; and the future, that is not so bright,” he says. “My decision was, from the beginning, not to talk about Serbia, or even ex-Yugoslavia. I think it’s a story about Eastern Europe and how after 50 or more years of communism, people are getting back to Christianity.
The second thing that interested him was the nature of the miracles themselves. “When a miracle is God’s gift, and when a miracle is the Devil’s temptation.” The commercialization of art is yet another target. In one section of the film, a painter’s work is found to give physical nourishment – an alternative to food – to those who view it.
