"Between Heaven and Earth"
1993
Directed by Marion Hansel

A fable with serious overtones. Carmen Maura plays Maria, an ambitious television journalist who has a series of surreal dreams. She falls into a profound moral and spiritual crisis when she communicates with her unborn child and believes the baby is unprepared and unwilling to be born. A prominent scientist and a young man in her apartment building try to help her decide the child's fate. "Entertaining and provocative, Carmen Maura is great" (Paul Wunder, WBAI Radio). With Jean-Pierre Cassel, Didier Bezace, Samuel Mussen and Andre Delvaux. French with English subtitles.
80 minutes.
