The Cup is Already Filling Up
Debora Elgeholm
Three different events are joined together: the apparitions of Our Lady in Fátima (1917), in Garabandal (1961-1965), and in Medjugorje (1981). What they have in common is that those who saw the apparitions were children. A personal story is created using quotes from the children about their own experiences. The film deals with the feeling of being chosen and the responsibility that comes with being the Virgin Mary’s messenger. Archive material is mixed with contemporary images of the apparitions’ locations, which connect them to the present time.
