Nora's Will

Nora's Will is a 2008 Mexican black comedy-drama film written and directed by Mariana Chenillo. It was entered into the 31st Moscow International [Film Festival].

Plot

Nora commits suicide in a timely way consistent with her plan to bring her ex-husband, José, and the rest of their family together for a Passover together.
A photograph from the past, hidden under the bed, leads Jose to reexamine their relationship.
This story begins when José finds out that Nora, the woman he'd been married to for 30 years and then divorced, has committed suicide. The rabbi tasked with Nora's burial explains to José that due to the celebration of the Passover festivities, together with a few other factors, if Nora is not buried that same day, they will have to wait almost five days to be able to carry out the burial. It turns out that before she died, Nora devised a Machiavellian plan in order for him to take care of her funeral. The film follows José as he has to navigate the clash between his atheistic beliefs and his family's Jewish religion, and his own past with Nora.
