Description

Film Fridays are back! We’re opening our Indie/Foreign Film Friday series with a small change. Registration is required and we are only filling 50% capacity. Films are still free and fabulous! This month’s heartwarming film takes place as the Cold War winds down and former concert cellist, Louka, is blacklisted from his job. For a fee, he marries a Russian woman so she can become a Czech citizen, but she immediately leaves, sticking Louka with her sickly 5-year-old and a host of official questions about the sham marriage. Kolya recounts a love story between guardian and child that is universal in the storytelling. Rated PG-13. Registration begins November 15. Sponsored by Bill and Jane Murray.
