"Nora's Will" Opens in New York City!


The award-winning Mexican Jewish comedy Nora's Will is opening at the prestigious Paris Theatre in New York City tomorrow (Friday, October 15th)! 

Nora's Will is a Mexican Jewish comedy like nothing you've seen before, a truly unique tale about lost faith and eternal love from writer/director Mariana Chenillo. When Jose’s ex-wife Nora dies right before Passover, Jose is forced to stay with her body until it can be buried properly. He soon realizes it's all part of Nora's plan to bring her family back together, leading Jose to reexamine their relationship and rediscover their undying love for each other.

The film was named Mexico’s Best Picture of the Year, taking home seven Mexican Academy Awards. (Mariana Chenillo is the first female director ever to win Mexico's Best Picture award.) Nora's Will has received rave reviews from critics and audiences all over the country. Don’t miss your chance to see this one-of-a kind film for yourself!
