NB film starts promptly at 8.30pm

A film made with love and the most effective of comedic touches by a master director, Juan Jose Campanella (The Secrets in their Eyes, Moon of Avellaneda). To make it a very special event, Adam Feinstein, acclaimed film author and Hispanist joins us for Q&A – an excellent way to round off the autumn season and break for Christmas.

Rafael (Darin) is stressed. The economy is in free fall, and his restaurant business is in trouble; his father is insisting on re-marrying Rafael’s mother, even though she suffers from Alzheimer’s; Rafael’s ex-wife and daughter want more from him. Something’s got to give. An old friend re-appears, and Rafael begins to see some possibilities. Campanella assembles a top cast led by one of South America’s biggest stars (Darin) to create a vastly enjoyable, sensitive film. ‘It’s fresh, funny, biting, fast-paced.’ Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune. Oscar-nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, 34 other awards.
