Martha Demeter

Before World War II the 3 sisters Mia, Uschi, and Martha were born in the former German city of Wrocław, which became Polish in 1945. They have been shaped by poverty, National Socialism, war, and escape, but also by peace, reconstruction, and an affluent society of Germany. The detailed stories they tell us in front of the camera, 75 years after World War II has ended, are as individual as the 3 sisters themselves.

The question of meaning seems to occupy humanity since the beginning of time and the attempts to find an answer are as diverse as the human beings themselves. But what happens when one tries to examine that question from a non-human perspective? Filmmakers Bedekovic/Grunsky attempt this experiment by sending the alter ego X on a journey through Europe, before the outbreak of COVID-19. Although X observes the human world in a pure analytic way, she is offered quite emotional thoughts from the terrestrials.
