Norah Smile
2012, 10 minutes
a future where a family is only a fiction
Norah is the perfect wife, girlfriend and mother – in front of the camera for all her clients. Norah’s studio offers her posing face to fulfill this bubble on Christmas cards, wedding photos or the simple family update. Every client has a different character, all with a wide smile. There’s a protocol and it is followed. Markus, a junior partner at a law firm, is pressured by work to approach the studio and become a client. As one of the few romantics left in the grey city, his attitude challenges Norah to question her life of illusions.
