International TV Series Competition

Normal

International Premiere

Asaf Korman, Leore Dayan / Israel / 2020 / 33 min / Drama
Hebrew / Subtitles English, French

Noam is trying to become the journalist he has always dreamed of being. Not necessarily easy when your father is a famous author, you abuse drugs and alcohol, and you suffer from a cruel lack of self-esteem. A surgical chronicle of an existence on the edge of a precipice.

An article for a major daily newspaper. The chance of a lifetime. A famous father, too famous. A lack of self-esteem. Drugs, alcohol. In this first episode of Normal, nothing really is. Describing in minute detail the torments of a young man who wants to do well but who is paralyzed by his doubts, this Israeli series surprises by the finesse of its analysis and its capacity to generate tension based on almost banal situations. Remarkable.
