Norma

Story about a forty-something woman going through a mid-life crisis (sort of). The acting is great, the filming is great. There are glimpses of humor here and there. The film ambles at a slow pace, which is right for me maybe, but not for others.

Whenever the main character is focused on herself (which is most of the film) her life seems to stagnate -- manifested seemingly by insomnia, doldrums, listlessness... She discovers a way that she thinks will get her out of her funk. In the fleeting moments that involve reaching out in relationships, things seem to improve.

The film is set in Argentina, but it could be anywhere really.
