@ Frost Academic Commons, School Street

A young man takes a strange and unexpectedly funny journey in search of a family heroine he’s never known in this screen adaptation of the novel by Jonathan Safran Foer. Jonathan is a lifelong collector of any and all objects pertaining to his family, and he has become obsessed with a woman he’s never met. The woman saved the life of his grandfather Safran during World War II, when the city in the Ukraine where he was born was destroyed by Nazi troops. Wanting to know more about the woman, Jonathan flies to the Ukraine, where with the help of a driver who has claimed to be blind since his wife’s death, a good-natured but tongue-tied tour guide and translator named Alex, and a dog named Sammy Davis Junior Junior, he searches for the meaning of the present that lies buried in the past, unexpectedly shedding the same such light on the lives of those around him.

@ Hyde Hall, Room 220

Following the sudden and unexpected death of her husband, a widowed child bride lashes out against her fate in the Hindu ashram where she is expected to atone for her sins in this humanistic drama, the third installment of filmmaker Deepa Mehta’s Elemental Trilogy. Chuyia’s husband has died, and religious doctrine dictates that she now retire to an ashram to atone for the sins that caused her husband’s untimely death. As Chuyia bides her time among widows both young an old — some accepting of their fate and some bitterly resentful — the preadolescent widow’s spirit remains unbroken and hopeful for a brighter future.
