| Zim and Co.: After a banal motorbike accident, twenty-year-old Zim must find a proper job if he wants to avoid prison. Zim isn’t a lazy guy and he scans newspaper ads looking for a job. But the only one he finds, starting in ten days and that he must absolutely get, requires a car - and a driver’s license. Of course, he doesn’t have either. Fortunately Zim is good at inventing schemes. Even better, he’s got a gang of great buddies — Cheb, Arthur and Safia — who are ready to do anything, or almost, to keep him out of jail. |
| Dr. Rachel Boué is interested, among other subjects, in the contemporary French society and its repercussions in art. She has taught at Jussieu in Paris, Wesleyan University (CT), and Columbia College of Chicago. |
| Pre-film presentation in English begins at 6:30 p.m. and film screenings at approximately 6:45 p.m. French wine will be served. Followed by a facilitated discussion in English. Pre-registration optional. French wine will be served. |
