Ultimately, Hille Norden’s Easy Girl does everything it takes to humanize and empathize with the “easy girl.” Between Dana Herfuth’s devastating performance and Norden’s refusal to look away from the hard stuff, the film leaves you with more moral questions than answers — and that feels exactly right.

Nore, a free-spirited femme fatale, moves in with her former classmate Jonna, a serious medical student. As they drift through carefree one-night stands with disposable men, they are forced to confront Nore's deeply troubled past, which becomes an obstacle to happiness.

Hille Norden: "I wanted to make a movie about the long-term consequences of sexual violence that helps us understand and heal. Because even though many of us have experienced sexual violence and the topic is present, I felt that we barely understand it in depth."

In her debut film, director Hille Norden dares to ask what it means to refuse to be afraid, to reject the victim LABEL, and to search for freedom while inhabiting a body that is both powerful and vulnerable, desired and endangered.  

Feature Debut

Screening on September 29, attended by the director.
