Nora

"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 Nora’s world and gets tangled up in the atmosphere of sexuality and violence. While the film presents flashbacks of Nora’s profile as a perpetra tor and her pathological friendship with two peers, Norbert and Patrick, Maria has to face her own unstable relationship 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 different consequences for them both.
