Each Thursday evening we will be showing a different international film with English subtitles. January’s films highlight the diverse stories of immigrants in the US, exploring universal themes of love, family, and cultural heritage. Dessert and light refreshments will be served.

A former Olympic wrestler from Tbilisi travels from his home country of Georgia to a Russian-speaking neighborhood in Brooklyn to visit his hapless son in a shabby boarding house. He soon does everything in his power to help his son get out of a $14,000 gambling debt to a local mob boss. This realistic, sensitive drama is an ode to the power of familial bonds.
