I Want You If You Dare

Single mother Martina raised twin girls, one of whom was born blind and the other with polio, leaving her disabled.

The documentary offers a brutally unsentimental view into the life of an impoverished rural family with two permanently disabled members. It delicately captures both everyday and exceptional situations, focusing mainly on the personal, emotional and relationship problems between the protagonists.
