Description: 16mm Film - The Miracle of Marcelino - Marcelino, pan y vino - Spain 1955 (Excerpt 2) Directed by: Ladislao Vajda Written by: Ladislao Vajda, based on a novel by José María Sánchez Silva Cinematography by: Enrique Guerner alias Heinrich Gärtner Music by: Pablo Sorozábal Starring: Pablito Calvo, Rafael Rivelles, Antonio Vico, Juan Calvo, José Marco Davó, Juanjo Menéndez, Adriano Domínguez, Mariano Azaña, Joaquín Roa, Isabel de Pomés et al. The story revolves around Marcelino, an orphan abandoned as a baby on the steps of a monastery in nineteenth-century Spain. The monks raise the child, and Marcelino grows into a rowdy young boy. He has been warned by the monks not to visit the monastery attic, where a "very big man who will take him away" lives, but he ventures upstairs anyway, sees the man and tears off back down the stairs. At a festival, Marcelino causes havoc when he accidentally topples a pile of fruit and lets some animals loose. The new local mayor, a blacksmith whom the monks would not let adopt Marcelino because of his coarse behavior, uses the incident as an excuse to try to shut down the monastery. Given the silent treatment by the monks, Marcelino gathers up the courage to once again enter the attic, where he sees not a bogeyman, but a beautiful statue of Christ on the Cross. Remarking that the statue looks hungry, Marcelino steals some bread and wine and offers it to the statue, which comes to life, descends from the Cross, and eats and drinks what the boy has brought him. The statue becomes Marcelino's best friend and confidant, and begins to give him religious instruction. For his part, Marcelino realizes that the statue is Christ. The monks know something is strange when they notice bread and wine disappearing, and arrange to spy on Marcelino. One day, the statue notices that Marcelino is pensive and brooding instead of happy, and tells him that he would like to reward his kindness. Marcelino answers: "I want only to see my mother, and to see Yours after that". The statue cradles Marcelino in its arms, tells Marcelino to sleep - and Marcelino dies happy. The monks witness the miracle through a crack in the attic door, and burst in just in time to see the dead Marcelino bathed in a heavenly glow. The statue returns to its place on the Cross, and Marcelino is buried underneath the chapel and venerated by all who visit the now flourishing monastery-turned-shrine. The main story is told in flashback by a monk (played by Fernando Rey), who, visiting a dying girl, tells her the story of Marcelino for inspiration. The film ends with the monk entering the now completely remodeled chapel in the monastery during Mass, and saying to the crucifix once kept in the attic: "We have been speaking about You, O Lord", and then, to Marcelino's grave, which is situated nearby, "And about you, too, Marcelino". Die Geschichte dreht sich um Marcelino, ein Waisenkind, das als Baby auf den Stufen eines Klosters im Spanien des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts ausgesetzt wurde. Die Mönche ziehen das Kind auf, und Marcelino wächst zu einem ungestümen Jungen heran. Die Mönche haben ihn gewarnt, nicht auf den Dachboden des Klosters zu gehen, wo ein "sehr großer Mann, der ihn mitnehmen wird“, wohnt, aber er wagt sich trotzdem hinauf, sieht den Mann und rennt die Treppe wieder hinunter. Bei einem Fest verursacht Marcelino ein Chaos, als er versehentlich einen Obststapel umstößt und einige Tiere freilässt. Der neue Bürgermeister des Ortes, ein Schmied, der Marcelino wegen seines rüden Verhaltens nicht adoptieren durfte, nimmt den Vorfall zum Anlass, um das Kloster zu schließen. Nachdem die Mönche ihn zum Schweigen gebracht haben, nimmt Marcelino den Mut zusammen und betritt erneut den Dachboden, wo er nicht etwa einen bösen Mann, sondern eine wunderschöne Statue von Christus am Kreuz sieht. Als er bemerkt, dass die Statue hungrig aussieht, stiehlt Marcelino etwas Brot und Wein und bietet es der Statue an. Diese erwacht zum Leben, steigt vom Kreuz herab und isst und trinkt, was der Junge ihr gebracht hat. Die Statue wird zu Marcelinos bestem Freund und Vertrauten und beginnt, ihm religiösen Unterricht zu erteilen. Marcelino seinerseits erkennt, dass die Statue Christus ist. Die Mönche wissen, dass etwas Seltsames vor sich geht, als sie bemerken, dass Brot und Wein verschwinden, und sie beschließen, Marcelino auszuspionieren. Eines Tages bemerkt die Statue, dass Marcelino eher nachdenklich und grüblerisch als fröhlich ist, und sagt ihm, dass er seine Freundlichkeit belohnen möchte. Marcelino antwortet: "Ich möchte nur meine Mutter sehen, und danach Deine“. Die Statue wiegt Marcelino in ihren Armen, sagt ihm, er solle schlafen - und Marcelino stirbt glücklich. Die Mönche werden durch einen Spalt in der Dachbodentür Zeuge des Wunders und kommen gerade noch rechtzeitig herein, um den toten Marcelino in ein himmlisches Licht getaucht zu sehen...
