The weather has been cold for weeks and it is already late when KarlWinter arrives home. In the darkness he meets a woman he findsmysteriously and irresistibly fascinating: Martha. A fatal love story is set in motion, one that causes Karl to lose his hold on reason. Marthas Garten is a wonderful exercise in film noir shot in black and white. A winter drama as deadly as it is strange. A filmabout isolation and madness in a climate of bitterly defended folly. (Festival International du Film de La Rochelle)
