"The story of one person responsible for the whole household ... that story had to be made up first. And for that, you need pictures." Based on photographs of people at work, the essay film "No wonder" revolves around the invention of the housewife. In dialogue with each other and with a newspaper photo archive from the 1950s and 60s, Sudermann and Nagy talk about broken household objects, the aesthetic production of the nuclear family and the revolutionary demand of wages for housework. In doing so, they relate the gendered division of labour in our present to the conditions of filmmaking itself.
