20210830 LanguageLessons Poster — The award-winning collaboration between Natalie Morales and Mark Duplass is a heartwarming exploration of long-distance friendship. “Language Lessons” won the SXSW Narrative Spotlight Audience Award and the Provincetown Best Narrative Film Audience Award, among others.

When Adam’s (Mark Duplass) husband surprises him with weekly Spanish lessons, he’s unsure about where or how this new element will fit into his already structured life. But when tragedy strikes, his Spanish teacher, Cariño (Natalie Morales), becomes a lifeline he didn’t know he needed.

Adam develops an unexpected and complicated emotional bond with Cariño — but do you really know someone just because you’ve experienced a traumatic moment with them?

Bittersweet, honest, and at times darkly funny, “Language Lessons” is a disarmingly moving exploration of platonic love.

“A film graced with charm and genuine heart.” – The Hollywood Reporter

“Morales and Duplass both infuse their characters with such emotional honesty.” – Indiewire

“A rare and preceptive film about the formation of a friendship with the push-pull dynamics of a romantic comedy.” – Variety

“Language Lessons” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Sept. 10-15. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday, Sunday and Monday, Sept. 10, 12 and 13; and 4 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 14 and 15.

The Politics of Pain

If there’s one thing nearly every living organism on this planet shares, it is the ability to feel pain. The pain of hunger. Of loneliness. Of illness. The pain of broken bones and broken bodies, broken hearts and broken homes. The pain of poverty, depression, the death of someone we love—and, eventually, the anticipation of our own death. Pain, in all its shapes and shadows, is the one certainty life gives us all. No one escapes it.
