How to be Normal and the Oddness of the Other World

Pia returns home to live with her parents after a stay in a psychiatric hospital. Coping with the effects of her medication, and juggling between a failed relationship, returning to work and the trials of family life, Pia desperately seeks her own form of normalcy whilst everything around her implodes.

Florian Pochlatko's debut feature pitches a world through Pia's eyes, with the familiar and the surreal near-inseparable as she struggles to adjust to life outside of the hospital. Luisa-Céline Gaffron's performance as Pia is exceptional, and Pochlatko crafts a film which is both socially and artistically inventive.
