The Greek island of Rhodes is full of wonders. The sun god Helios kisses his island almost 300 days a year, which is great for Europe! But there is also the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven ancient wonders of the world. And of course there are other World Heritage Sites and many natural wonders on this island in the south-east Aegean! (And you can find what Tamina saw and experienced on Rhodes in the ARD media library: https://1.ard.de/rhodos-helios-hr-?yt=t)

Rhodes surprises with forests, deer and springs, lonely beaches, even in high season, with squids on clotheslines and a divine miracle high up on a mountain peak - 350 steps to the blessing of children, the Madonna Tsampika ensures fertility, not only on Rhodes. Couples with an unfulfilled desire to have children make a pilgrimage to the mountain from all over the world.

And the wonders of love are also very real on Rhodes: Julia and Tsambikos - the great love for 13 years! Tsambikos, a genuine Rhodian, and Julia, a doctor from Germany, manage the balancing act between their two worlds and show the film author their miracle island.
