The Miracle Cure

Daniel Glattauer

Can a single therapy session save a marriage that has become a battlefield of words and silence?

In The Miracle Cure (Die Wunderübung), Daniel Glattauer delivers a sharp, witty, and profoundly relatable comedy about the complexities of long-term love. Joana and Valentin have reached a dead end; she anticipates his every word with a suffocating barrage of speech, while he retreats into a fortress of emotional coldness. Their therapist’s conventional methods fail spectacularly against their seasoned combat tactics. However, as the session progresses, the therapist’s own personal crisis begins to leak into the room, leading to an unexpected turn of events. With his signature psychological depth and brilliant dialogue, Glattauer masterfully explores the subtle nuances of human relationships and the surprising "miracles" that can occur when we finally stop talking past one another.
