How to Fly

About a year ago, we shot our new series pilot “How To Fly”, which was shown for the first time at the “Winterthur Kurzfilm Tage” a month ago.

Frustrated with the hopeless search for professional therapy, Martha looks for help with a spiritual self-help group. When this group turns out to be an destructive cult, she needs to decide whether she gives in to her fate, or flies home.

“How to Fly” will be available online after the film festival tour.
