OUR FINAL FILM OF THE SEASON IS A REAL TREASURE!!
"TREASURE"
Ruth,(Lena Dunham) a neurotic businesswoman from New York, takes her father Edek(Stephen Fry), a charmingly stubborn Holocaust survivor on a journey to Poland to make sense of her family's past. Edek's hesitation to confront his past and his often odd demeanor cause more than just one dispute between him and his daughter. The trip unfolds into a story that encapsulates the emotion of discovery and drama with humor. Based on the best-selling autobiographical novel TOO MANY MEN by New York-based writer Lily Brett.
