Summary
A beautiful, bittersweet comedy of an awkward, ninth grade Catholic school boy who sets out to make a miracle happen. Believing a miracle can save his mother's life and having been told his winning the Boston Marathon would be "a miracle," Ralph begins training to win the famed race. Only after seeing his resolve and temerity, a conflicted Father Hibbert (Campbell Scott) trains the boy through his triumphant win at a local race and prepares him for the ultimate challenge. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival** and the **Palm Springs International Film Festival** Winner of Outstanding Achievement in Direction - Feature Film from **Directors Guild of Canada** and the Grand Prix at the **Paris Film Festival** *"Canadian writer-director Michael McGowan has packed it so full of earnestness that viewers end up jogging along." - Jeff Strickler, **Minneapolis Star Tribune*** *"Funny, touching and uplifting." - Richard Roeper, **Ebert & Roeper*** *"It's worth seeking out this bittersweet comedy with its emotionally resonant story and stellar performances." - Claudia Puig, **USA Today***
