'Nora' is based on the life of dancer Nora Chipaumire, who was born in Zimbabwe in 1965. In the film, Nora returns to the landscape of her childhood and travels through the vivid memories of her youth. Using performance and dance, she brings her story to life in a swift poem of sounds and images.

Much of the film's music was specially composed by the legend of Zimbabwean music, Thomas Mapfumo.
