The Miracle of the Sargasso Sea (Greek: Το Θαύμα της Θάλασσας των Σαργασσών), is a 2019 thriller/drama Greek film with horror and surrealist elements, directed by Syllas Tzoumerkas. It tells the story of two women— a police woman and an eel hatchery worker— whose solitary lives cross when a circle of violence erupts in the poor, small town of Western Greece where they live. Angeliki Papoulia, Youla Boudali and Christos Passalis lead the film's ensemble cast.
Tzoumerkas' third film after Homeland (Hora Proelefsis, 2010) and A Blast (2014), The Miracle of the Sargasso Sea had its world premiere at the Panorama section of the 69th Berlinale.
