“Take me to the moon!” – it’s not for the first time that lovers express their feelings that way, but maybe the first time that it is written in flour. “Martina and the Moon” unfolds a classical love story using strong, often surrealistic pictures. Resembling to a fairy tale the film takes its audience back to childhood days, when dreams about princesses and heroes had not yet been discredited by an enlightened sense of reality.
