Director Statement

"Noriko" is a story about loss and grief. The inability to let things go and accept time as for what it is - inevitably moving on - is probably one of the biggest human weaknesses there is. Confronting this fear of time by something emotionless and timeless as a machine, seems to be a paradox mankind might actually encounter in the future, as we more and more aproach artificial intelligence.
