When: Friday, 4 May 2018 Time: 19.00 Venue: Marubi |
Persona non grata is a psychological film which takes us through a journey of regret, obsessive suspicion, fighting for freedom, becoming reconciled with one’s fate, and ultimately, death. The Polish ambassador to Uruguay, Wiktor, is an honest, righteous man, and an oppositionist from communist times, yet he struggles with personal suspicions and the many staff problems he is facing at the embassy in Montevideo. |
| “Our God’s Brother”
When: Saturday, 5 May 2018 Time: 19.00 Venue: Marubi |
This is the true story of St. Albert Chmielowski, a celebrated Polish artist and painter in the 1800’s who was a major inspiration for young Karol Wojtyla, later Pope John Paul II. Albert became dissatisfied with his painting, and disillusioned about the meaning of life, when he encountered many homeless and outcast beggars in Poland that triggered his passion to help the poor. This movie is based on a play written by Karol Wojtyla as a tribute to his love for St. Albert, and his inspiration for Wojtyla in discerning his own vocation to give up acting for the priesthood. When he became the Pope, he said that anyone who wanted to understand his views should study his plays, and on the topic of social justice, to study Our God’s Brother. |

When: Sunday, 6 May 2018 Time: 19.00 Venue: Marubi |
