OWU’s Hispanic Film Festival will have a screening and discussion of ‘VERANO 1993’ [Summer 1993] on Thurs., Oct. 25 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Corns Building, Room 312.
In the summer of 1993, following the death of her parents to AIDS, six-year-old Frida is forced from bustling Barcelona to the Catalan provinces to live with her aunt and uncle, her new legal guardians. Unfortunately, the transition is not easy for Frida. Confronting the adult matters of death and religion through the eyes of a child, director Carla Simón captures exactly what it feels like to grow up in an adult world.
Directed by Carla Simón / Spain / 96 min. / 2017. Catalán with English subtitles. Free and open to the public.
