In Normal Corona a little human being is faced with the corona crisis.
Through the use of a split screen the viewer constantly sees a comparison of a day of the protagonist’s normal life and his corona life. In his normal life, the little guy is very busy: Seeing a lot of different people, working hard, earning money. A day in his corona life is the complete opposite: He is quarantined in his house so he can not meet people in real life, he can not go to work and he has no money. That is why he is constantly craving for his “normal” life before corona. But he does not see that during corona crisis he has one thing he did not have before: Time.
The little human in corona time feels worse and worse because he is not able to see the advantages corona time has and at the same time, he does not self-reflect about his “normal” life in which he is overwhelmed by all the running everyday.
In the end the little human in corona time collapses. This pain forces him to reflect about his normal life and he finally realizes the enormous struggle he was suffering from. He
understands his chance to change.
