Edición en Inglés
Embark on a brutal yet beautiful journey of self-discovery.
Nora is a capable, proud, professional woman standing on her own two feet and climbing to the position of Partner. She is also now a patient in a psych ward, pulled apart by her longing for love but her inability to accept it. Nora has two great fears: being alone and facing the reality that her life is a facade. Now, she is being forced to confront both.
In this brutal yet beautiful tale, we live with Nora as she works through the consequences of her childhood experiences and the expansive sequence of self-destructive choices. We listen as she begins to comprehend how she has used her sexuality as a tool to conquer, control and avoid true connection. We witness her understanding of how the environments she has endured have left her with many scars, some seen, some buried beneath layers of lies.
Yet Nora yearns to live fully and freely. The therapy she undertakes in the hospital is heavy, culminates in many crises, but also breaks open her heart to let the light in. Through her art assignments, she explores colours, their energy, and the excitement they bring. As she sketches, paints, reflects and creates, she realises how much her environments have shaped her. She also begins to sense the power she has to make one where she can be safe and shine. However, much work is needed to unravel the tendrils that have pushed her to this place.
Nora decides not to return to the life that led her to the hospital but to a solitary sanctuary, her mother's home filled with memories of what true love looks like. She finds a firm footing, friendship, inspiring projects and the unconditional love of a little girl. But she also carries with her ingrained harmful habits and problematic self-beliefs. Will she resist the pull to join another toxic partnership simply to avoid being a spinster?
Through Nora's story, we get to reflect on the rainbow of our lives, each colour calling us to appreciate the conflict between fitting in and finding oneself, knowing who you are and who you are not, and the tussle between convenient deceit and deep truth. As Nora charts and celebrates her complexity, we are also guided to gain a sense of self-compassion for our own challenges and to find the courage to create our own homes where there is honesty, health, happiness and hope.
