A Difficult Year

Friday, Feb 2nd 2 pm and 7 pm Tickets $12 A Difficult Year movie image

“Do I need it? Do I really need it? Do I really need it right now?”.

It’s into the impossibly modern world of overconsumption, over-indebtedness, climate crisis and militant action aimed at raising the alarm and reversing fate, that the duo of Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache plunge in this new feature film. A Difficult Year Movie image “A Difficult Year” follows two compulsive spenders, Albert and Bruno, who are in debt up to their necks. While seeking help from community workers to get their lives back on track, Albert and Bruno run into a group of young green activists. Lured by the free beer and snacks rather than by the ideals of these eco-activists, Albert and Bruno find themselves joining the movement without much conviction.
