How To Be Normal And The Oddness Of The Other World

Fresh out of psychiatry, Pia (26) moves back into her parents’ house on the outskirts of Vienna—only to realize she’s not the only one whose life is derailing. Her parents, Elfie and Klaus, are also struggling to keep up with a world in constant transformation.

Juggling a shaky new job, lingering heartbreak, medication, and the weight of social stigma, Pia stumbles into a reality as unsteady as she feels. Bit by bit, she begins to transform—into a giant monster threatening the world… or perhaps a heroine destined to save it. Who gets to decide what’s normal?

How to Be Normal and the Oddness of the Other World is a melancholic yet lighthearted exploration of identity, family, self-discovery, and a young woman’s search for balance and meaning in an uncontrollable world.
