VHS film (!) slowly gathering a cult following. Can perhaps best be described as a body-horror comedy. Although hardcore horror fans, coming-of-age-story enthusiasts and retro-fetishists will all encounter elements that they know and love, The Miracle Of Life will dodge their expectations, rather choosing to dive into a highly artificial but meticulously crafted trash-world of its own. A colorful re-imagining of an American Dream that has only been experienced second-hand, through the highest and lowest shelves of the video store.

NOTE: if you don’t have a VCR player, you can stream it with the information included with the tape.

Luke struggles for his place in a world of drunks, junkies, whores and bodybuilders.
