NORA is a haunting psychological portrait of policewoman
Maria Kirchner, who accidentally kills a young student trying to
break into her school. Maria is suspended from duty and tries
to come to terms with what has happened and steals a piece of
secured evidence. Through filmed video recordings, Maria
delves into Noras world and gets tangled up in the atmosphere
of sexuality and violence.
While the film presents flashbacks of Noras profile as a
perpetra tor and her pathological friendship with two peers,
Norbert and Patrick, Maria has to face her own unstable
relation ship with her dement mother, her neglected daughter
and her burned out colleague Oliver.
In order to be able to resume their police duties, Maria and
Oliver have to undergo questioning by police psychologists,
which, in the end, leads to very difference consequences for
them both.
