Come see the 2010
Croatian feature, “Mother of Asphalt” directed by Dalibor
Matanić and starring Marija Škaričić, winner of the 2011 Golden FIPA Award from
France’s Biarritz
International Festival for this performance. (Two of her other performances, “Fraulein”
in 2006 and “A Wonderful Night in Split” in 2004, were also awarded Best
Actress Awards from the Sarajevo Film Festival.)

The
story: It's
almost Christmas time when Mare, recently laid off, leaves home after a row
with her husband. She and her 7-year old son desperately seek shelter.... In
stark contrast to the surrounding Christmas-time consumer bonanza, the young
woman is left without money, friends, or even compassion. The only help comes
from the lonely nighttime security guard at the glitzy mall...

Free screening 7pm tonight, Dec. 16, at:  

Neighborhood Unitarian Universalist Church
