​

SOLD OUT (as of 3 June 2022)

​

This year, we are celebrating la Fête de la Musique in a different way! We are organising a night at the French Film Festival to watch the musically driven film La Traviata, My Brothers and I. 

​

Nour, a 14-year-old boy, is enjoying the beginning of the summer holidays in the South of France. He is the youngest of four brothers. They live together in a council estate, taking turns caring for their mother who is in a coma. She used to love Italian Opera, so Nour plays it for her, and develops a passion for that music. Between community work and rising tensions at home, Nour dreams of escaping to a faraway place. When he crosses paths with Sarah, an Opera singer teaching summer classes, he finally finds the opportunity to come out of his shell and explore new horizons.

​

Watch the trailer below.

We will meet at Alliance Française Wellington to enjoy a glass of bubbles and a chat about the festival and French cinema. Then, we will go to the Embassy Theatre together to watch the film. Feel free to hang around after to discuss the experience!
