Mild Miracles

Two ordinary people are hired to solve banal prayers. They have to do their best because their employer is God.

Every day people pray for many reasons and God hears all those prayers. But, He doesn’t have time for all of them. So in order to attend some of those “meaningless” prayers, he has his "workers" all over the world to answer them. These workers are not omnipotent, they don't perform miracles, because they are ordinary people, like the rest of us. We follow two of them in Croatia, Mara the fanatical believer, and Tomo the skeptic. The prayers they attend to are everyday modern problems known to the Balkan people and beyond, such as; nepotism, corruption, envy, traditionalism, patriarchy... God doesn’t tell them how to solve these problems, so our heroes usually find themselves in absurd situations with the local folk who live a fine balance between life’s pleasures and trivial complaints. They always manage to get the job done, but usually not the way they intended to.
