Miracle No. 71 is an inspiring and heartwarming road movie with Nathalie Basteyns, a well-known Belgian director, who has been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for 10 years. She has been in a wheelchair for eight of them and has had enough. She wants to be able to walk again and dreams of a miracle. Traveling from Brussels to Lourdes, where 70 miracles have been recognized by the Church, she sets off on this road trip with the hope of becoming Miracle No. 71. Along with photographer Lieve Blancquaert and her nurse Gustave, the three travelers experience many adventures and humorous moments, including psychedelic mushrooms and crazy skiing sessions to relieve pain and feel alive. In her pursuit of a cure — or path to acceptance — Nathalie has fascinating conversations with neurologists, scientists, and people of great faith. A highly emotional journey that beautifully explores the power of belief. Because … you never know.
