Join us for an evening of film and food on Calle Ocho. We will be viewing April's Daughter (La Hija de Abril) at the MDC's Tower Theater Miami (Tower 2). April's Daughter (La Hija de Abril) is a 2017 Mexican drama film directed by Michel Franco, and starring Emma Suárez, Hernán Mendoza, Ana Valeria Vecerril, Enrique Arrizon, Joanna Larequi.  It was screened in the "Un Certain Regard" section at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Jury Prize in that section

Before enjoying the screening of April's Daughter (la Hija de Abril), let's all gather for a la carte food and drink at Ball & Chain from 5:00 - 7:15 p.m. Betty Charles will be at Ball & Chain starting at 5:00 p.m. to greet you. The movie starts at 7:45 p.m. 

If you arrive after 7:15 p.m., please text Betty at 786-314-9098; she can let you know where the group is sitting so you can join in the fun with your fellow Alumni.  

Movie Sypnosis: Youthful yoga instructor April (Emma Suárez) reunites with her long-estranged—and very pregnant—17-year-old daughter Valeria. Charismatic, vigorous and resourceful, April seems an exceptional adjunct, but this perfect little family starts to splinter anew once Valeria’s baby enters the world and April determines to show that grandmother knows best—at any cost.  Following his characters from the idyll of Puerto Vallarta to the maze of Mexico City, Franco’s cool, unwavering gaze draws us helplessly in, while Suárez brilliantly provokes our sympathies before propelling us along a chilling trajectory right out of Greek tragedy.

Tickets to the movie are $13.00 and must be purchased through MIFF.
