The Miracles of Ourcq

Véronique Pierron

Release date : 03/10/2019

Along the banks of the Canal de l’Ourcq in Paris, a rejected community has constructed little villages of cardboard houses covered in tarpaulins.

Among them is the Old Man, who lives in a makeshift caravan after a nervous breakdown and indulges his passion for knitting, Sandra, a former office worker with Tourette’s syndrome, Bella, the clairvoyant of the Roms village, and Noury and his much-cherished violin. There is also Juno the Brazilian poet,... Among them is the Old Man, who lives in a makeshift caravan after a nervous breakdown and indulges his passion for knitting, Sandra, a former office worker with Tourette’s syndrome, Bella, the clairvoyant of the Roms village, and Noury and his much-cherished violin. There is also Juno the Brazilian poet, who is illiterate but has fallen madly in love with an infirm and increasingly successful female writer.

This marginalised community survives by trying to make the most of their circumstances as an antidote to a sense of despair. Until the day when miracles start to occur along the banks of the Ourcq...

Their world is suddenly reminiscent of that of Emir Kusturica, springing into colour and life and offering seemingly unlimited possibilities.
