PREVIEW SCREENING EVENT In a windswept fishing village, a mother is torn between protecting her beloved son and her own sense of right and wrong. A lie she tells for him rips apart their family and close-knit community in this tense, sweepingly emotional epic. Starring Emily Watson and Paul Mescal (Normal People, The Lost Daughter).
Directing partners Saela Davis & Anna Rose Holmer weave a poetic tapestry of intersecting relationships: mother and son, past and present, humanity and nature.
Tickets: $15 (members), $20 (nonmembers)
