ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE (2020)

Tomer Halfon/Israel, US/62 minutes/Documentary

When Israeli-born Tomer moves to Hawaii in search for a better life, he expects to start a family with his friend Mataia. He could never have known that Mataia's mother, Trina would interrupt their plans with a suicide attempt. Living with bipolar disorder, Trina's struggles exacerbate after the loss of her son and life is never the same again. Waking up from a 70-day coma, Trina is compelled to re-evaluate her own life - and her own death. Following her post-attempt life, thoughts and feelings, Another Day in Paradise poses important questions about mortality, morality, mental-health and the conscience to remain in this world or not.
