Nora's Will
Nora's Will director Mariana Chenillo:
Director Mariana Chenillo sat down to talk to us about her film, Nora’s Will, and how it’s not about death but rather about love and forgiveness. Take a look.
Reviews:
We barely meet the Nora of Nora’s Will, but her presence permeates this bittersweet yet unexpectedly amusing Mexican movie. Review by Eleanor Ringel Cater High Museum of Art More
Synopsis:
Nora had a plan. It would bring her ex-husband, Jose, and the rest of their family together for a magnificent Passover feast. But there is a flaw in her plan- a mysterious photograph from the past, hidden under the bed, which leads Jose to reexamine their relationship and rediscover their undying love for each other.
