The Ordinaries | VOD

Have you ever felt like a Supporting Character in your own life? What if you really were one?

In a repressive three-class society, supporting character Paula must prove that she deserves to be a lead. She’s in the top of her class at Main Character School but has so far failed to generate great emotional music. In search of a solution, Paula finds herself in the abyss of the cinematic world, on the fringes of the storyline and lost among the outtakes.

IT’S TIME TO FLIP THE SCRIPT.

The first fiction feature from writer/director Sophie Linnenbaum, The Ordinaries is a hugely inventive, wonderfully strange social fable that uses cinematic tropes and references to satirise and take down class prejudice and societal structures, with light and dark humour and huge heart, recalling the weirdly whimsical work of Charlie Kaufman and Wes Anderson.
