The Miracle Club
Synopsis
Lourdes, a picturesque town at the base of the French Pyrenees and a place of miracles, draws millions of visitors each year.
Ballygar, Ireland, 1968: a hilariously hard-knocks community in outer Dublin that marches to its own beat - frenzied, fast, loose, and deeply soulful. For the women of Ballyfermot, the chance to rise above daily struggles is a pipe dream - until a church talent competition offers a free pilgrimage to Lourdes.
Close friends Lily (Maggie Smith), Eileen (Kathy Bates), and Dolly (Agnes O’Casey) win the trip of a lifetime, joined unexpectedly by Chrissie (Laura Linney), recently returned from decades in exile. As past wounds resurface, they each search for personal miracles and discover that the true miracle lies in forgiveness, friendship, and the unshakeable strength of togetherness.
