The Stone
Poland2020fiction25'Konkurs polski (2020)
There is a stone in the middle of the park. It is not a typical boulder. When a nun in a wheelchair touches it, she is healed. The abbess of her convent dreams of announcing the miracle but for the archbishop the stone is too secular, too common to be considered a miraculous object. The abbess does not want to give up – she comes up with a bluff to reach the pope himself. Even hierarchs of other denominations are becoming interested in the matter. Is it possible to work out a joint position? Permeated with warm humour, "The Stone" is an allegory about religiousness, miracles, ecumenism and effective marketing.
