Goethe Outdoor Screening: The Goldfish

170 Beacon Street,Boston MA 02116

04 August, 2022

Description

The Goldfish Banker and portfolio manager Oliver lives life in the fast lane – the very lane that brings life as he knows it to an abrupt end. After crashing through a guardrail and flipping his car, while driving around a traffic jam at 145 mph, Oliver awakes in the hospital with a devastating diagnosis: paralysis from the waist down. In denial about his condition and determined to move forward as if nothing has changed, Oliver is uncooperative in rehabilitation and cares more about the facility’s wi-fi connection than physical therapy. Germany, 2019, 112 min., Director: Alireza Golafshan, Rating: PG-13 Films are screened in German with English subtitles. Feel free to bring friends, snacks and BYOB. No RSVP required. Screenings will take place in the Goethe Backyard, off the Back Alley (third courtyard from Clarendon Street).
