Martha Must Fly

Israel, 2011


Martha is a foreign worker employed as a caretaker of a sick old woman who refuses to die. Martha's only moments of freedom come when she delves into her imaginary world. Feeling trapped and lonely, Martha tries to free herself but the authorities make it clear to her that until the old woman dies she must stay. She decides to fight for her freedom but reality pushes her into her fantasy world, one last time.
