This month we are screening THE ESTATE a suspenseful French drama that centers around 4 children working to convince their aging father to sell their family home. What this film truly explores are family dynamics, relationships with parents, sibling conflict and how we all remember the past a little differently. And how ultimately these early life experiences frame up our adult life.

Following the film I will be joined by writer/director Melanie Delloye for Q&A.
