About This Movie

So, this documentary, "Why is my name Nora, when my sky is clear?", takes us into the intriguing world of Nora Iuga. At 92, she’s a poet and novelist, and the film kind of feels like a conversation over coffee.

There’s this authenticity in her performance, as she navigates through memories and her literary journey. You come away with this sense of resilience in art and the personal stories behind it.
