A committed wife and mother, Nora is nonetheless bored by routine and aware of the accommodations she must make for her piggish father-in-law, demanding sons, and controlling husband Hans (Max Simonischek), who bans her from taking up a part-time job.
After an episode in Zurich with her rebellious niece, Nora makes cautious, yet determined steps into feminist consciousness. Together with old-hand Vroni (Sybille Brunner) and divorce Graziella (Marta Zoffoli), band together, go on strike and develop a strong solidarity.
Writer and director Petra Volpe’s warm, funny and energetic storytelling brings out the humour and chutzpah needed by women like these to make a change, especially in a few enraging moments of old-fashioned thinking.
We are delighted to welcome filmmaker Petra Volpe in conversation with Simran Hans after the film.
