Thursday, April 186:00—8:00 PMEdgartown Free Public LibraryEdgartown Free Public Library26 West Tisbury Road, Edgartown, MA, 02539

In April, join us at the library for an enchanting taste of contemporary French cinema. These three magical films explore themes of memory, the complexities of family bonds, and the profound connections between generations. Dessert and light refreshments will be served.

When elderly matriarch Hélène discovers that her health is declining, she contacts her three adult children about contending with her valuable art collection after her passing. As the family gathers, local son Frédéric is on hand, while his jet-setting siblings, Adrienne and Jérémie, fly in from abroad. Together, they try to agree on what to do with their mother's collection, as they also grapple with her mortality.

This program is generously funded by the Friends of the Edgartown Free Public Library.
