Leonor Will Never Die tells the story of Leonor Reyes, a faded screenwriter now struggling to pay the bills. In a bid to make ends meet, she returns to an unfinished script, but is sent into a coma after figuring in a freak accident. While in the coma, Leonor hovers between reality and fantasy, and she soon becomes part of her own incomplete script.

The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival 2022, where Martika was awarded the Special Jury Prize for Innovative Spirit.

It also won the Amplify Voices Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. – Rappler.com
