Movie Night – “Where Life Begins” (in person only)

MOVIE NIGHT

     “WHERE LIFE BEGINS”

                           Saturday, December 14, at 7:30 PM (in-person only)

In this beautifully rendered and sensitive love story an ultra-orthodox Jewish family from Aix-les-Bains comes to a farm in Calabria for a brief stay every year to carry out a sacred mission: harvesting citrons for Sukkot. Elio, the farm owner, meets Esther, the rabbi’s daughter, who is tired of the constraints imposed by her religion. Where Life Begins lovingly captures the scenery and atmosphere of the Italian countryside and is a powerful and sympathetic examination of the challenges and restrictions faced by the two main characters, with a wholly unexpected ending.

There will be a $5 admission fee. Non-members are requested to pre-register via the website link.
