CinemAlliance: L’Amour et Les Forêts | Alliance Française | 6pm | Free entry
When Blanche Renard meets Greg Lamoureux, she believes she has found the one. The ties that bind them grow rapidly; they are caught up in a great passion. Ignoring her fears, Blanche abandons her family and her twin sister, Rose, with dreams of reinventing herself – and little by little finds herself caught in the grip of a deeply possessive and dangerous man. A man whose true nature she is too ashamed, too afraid, to reveal. There are only two ways out. Either his victim will break, or she will free herself… (French with English subtitles).

“Death of a Saint” | Screening + Virtual Q&A with the director | Goethe-Institut Auditorium | 6pm
Death of a Saint combines an artful personal story of motherhood and a suspenseful true-crime investigation to focus on family and forgiveness, rather than revenge and punishment, in refreshingly new ways. Film director Patricia Bbaale attempts to find out who her mother was. Her mother, who was killed more than 30 years ago, is described as a saint, but Patricia wants to understand who she really was as a person. She must confront her traumas in order to set herself free from them.
