Program Description

Event Details

An expatriate French couple Antoine and Olga run an organic farm in the remote Spanish countryside, their idealism stirring quiet resentment among the tight-knit locals who have worked the land for generations. What begins as a cultural clash curdles into open hostility in this edge-of-your-seat rural thriller, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and went on to win nine Goya Awards, including Best Film and Best Director.

Watch this acclaimed movie on Kanopy (Vernon Area Public Library card required) or check out the DVD from the library. Then, join a discussion with fellow international cinema fans. 

This event is free and open to all. Signup is required. Sign up online here, by telephone at 224-543-1485, or in person at the library.
