Western Nevada College continues its Friday night series of films that span the continents and portray the lives and struggles of people of different cultures.
On Friday, the viewers will travel to South America with a mystery drama, "Possible Lives." The film depicts a wife on a desperate mission to find her husband who disappeared during a business trip to Patagonia.
During her search, she makes a startling discovery: a man with an uncanny resemblance to her spouse, but with another name and a wife. Convinced the stranger may be her husband, she ignores entreaties to quit her search just as police discover a body that may be the real man she seeks. Shot amid majestic vistas and suffused with vibrant color and sexuality, director Sandra Gugliotta's feature is a haunting and suspenseful study of grief and letting go.
All films are English close captioned and shown at 7 p.m. at Marlette Hall in the Cedar Building. Cost is $3, and free to WNC students with college ID.
Designed to promote cultural awareness, films are part of the Global Film Initiative's "Global Lens 2009" series. Support comes from the Nevada Humanities Committee.
