Nora

Fiction. Nora, 30 years old, lives with her Argentinian grandfather Nicolás and regularly takes care of her friend Meri's children. She writes the horoscope in the town magazine, although her dream is to be a travel writer. The death of her grandfather will leave her an old Dyane 6 in inheritance. Although she drives terribly, Nora will set out on an aimless road trip along the coast of the Basque Country, to end up taking her grandfather's ashes to her grandmother's side. The road will soon teach her that she is not a born traveler and that her dream had nothing to do with her, that it was only an excuse to give herself a chance to be free, to grow, to heal wounds and, for the first time, allow herself to be happy.

Lara Izagirre graduated in Audiovisual Communication at the UPV / EHU in 2007. After finishing her degree, she specialized in film directing by taking the 1-Year Filmmaking Program at NYFA. Upon her return to the Basque Country, she created the Gariza Films production company. Between 2010 and 2014 she wrote and directed five short films: 'Bicycle Poem' (2010), 'Kea' (2012), 'Next Stop: Greenland' (2012), 'Sormenaren Bide Ezkutuak' (2013) and 'Larroxa' (2013). In 2015, she premiered her first fiction feature 'Un otoño sin Berlín' at the San Sebastian International Film Festival. The following year, the leading role, Irene Escolar, won the Goya for best newcomer actor. Since 2016, she begins her work as a producer at Gariza Films. She has co-produced the following feature films: 'Errementari' (2017), Vitoria, March 3 '(2018),' Muga deitzen da pausoa '(2018),' Fabricando mujeres '(2018) and ' Una Ventana al mar '(2020 ); as well as two short films: ‘Bayandalai: Lord of the Taiga’ (2018) and ‘Ya no duermo’ (2020).
