The Miracle Worker of Tumane is a short fiction film about the miracles of Saint Zosima of Tumane, saint and healer. The film is based on personal testimonies of those who were healed by the saint, and collected and preserved from oblivion by the abbot of Tumane monastery, father Dimitrije, in the book "Monastery Tumane - Miracle of God's Love". The film consists of three stories, which with a lot of love, faith and the most sincere emotions restore hope even in those hopeless situations.

Jovana works behind the counter at a bakery in the small town where she lives with her father.
