One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
Nora is a striking young girl in love. All dressed up, she takes a shortcut through an abandoned building on the way for her hot date. Kevin, her ex, pulls up in the background. What ensues is a now universal 21st century story of male-female power, sexuality and shame—with a biting, feminist twist.
"A powerful, contemporary, necessary short film. Directed and written by Kaouther Ben Hania (from the award-winning ‘The Man Who Sold His Skin’), the film uses only 14 minutes to talk about Nora, a young woman on her way to a date. However, along the way, she unexpectedly meets her ex, Kevin, who demands answers from the brilliantly portrayed Oulaya Amamra. At the end of these less than 15 minutes, it is hard not to think about important topics such as machismo, psychological terrorism practiced by men against women, and other abusive situations in relationships—whether they are current or already ended. An urgent short film."
