MARTHA...MARTHA
a film by :Sandrine Veysset
Martha, Reymond and their little girl Lise journey from street-market to street-market, from fishing-spot to Monopoly board. Theirs is a perfect, perfectly unusual life… Happiness, it seems, is just around the corner. But childhood ghosts come looming. Martha feels hunted. She leads her little tribe into a never-ending downward spiral… Never-ending? Perhaps not quiet.
De marché en marché, de coin de pêche en partie de monopoly, Martha, Reymond et leur fillette Lise vivent et s'aiment à contre courant. Le bonheur semble à portée de main. Mais les fantômes de l'enfance guettent, et Martha, traquée, entraîne son petit monde au fil d'une dérive sans fin. Sans fin ??
