From the bestselling memoirs of Russian Jewish poet Evgenia Ginzburg, Oscar-winning director Marleen Gorris (Antonia's Line) crafts a sweeping, epic drama. Emily Watson (Breaking the Waves) portrays Ginzburg as she falls from Communist grace. Betrayed by her husband, she is forced to abandon her two children to serve h...er sentence of 10 years’ hard labor in the desolate Soviet Gulag. Ulrich Tukur (The Lives of Others) plays the German doctor who is as much a prisoner as she, but who rekindles her passion for life.
Discussion with Marleen Gorris and producer Christine Ruppert follows screening.

Simon Wolberg is mayor of a French provincial town, crazy in love with his wife, a nosy father to his lovely young daughter and dorky son, and a bit of an ...annoyance to his own father.
