I Was on Mars(1991)

I Was on Mars is a comedy-drama following Silva, a Polish woman who immigrates to New York with little more than a few hundred dollars and no grasp of English. When charming con artist Avi swindles her out of her meager savings, Silva refuses to accept defeat. Instead of disappearing into the city's anonymity, she pursues him relentlessly, determined to reclaim what he stole. What unfolds is a clash between an idealistic immigrant and a seasoned grifter, as Silva's stubborn determination tests Avi's ability to evade her. The film captures the desperation and resilience of starting over in a foreign land, balanced against the darker humor of urban deception. Silva's hunt becomes both a quest for justice and a battle of wills that neither party anticipated.
