EUROPE HAS NEVER BEEN CLOSER!

A TASTE OF EUROPE IN THE SILVER SCREEN!

This week Brasilia is all about Europe. People who live in the capital of the country will be able to experience a little bit of Europe without all the hassle that travelling involves. Among a multitude of cultural events in SEMANA DA EUROPA, there will be a Film Festival that will portray films from many countries and languages. One of the films is Calendar Girls.(rated pg 12)
Based on a true story, eleven middle-aged English women pose nude for their annual Women's Institute calendar as a fund-raiser for the local hospital. Chris (Helen Mirren) gets the idea to raise money for the hospital after Annie's (Julie Walters) husband dies of leukemia. The calendar is a little different in that each woman is posing behind a different task that the Women's Institute teaches their members, such as making bread rolls, knitting, planting flowers, and playing the piano. Before they know it, the calendar is a big hit in England with tremendous sales. Eventually, they are flown to American to be interviewed by Jay Leno. The calendar has made almost a million dollars for the local hospital.
Feel like watching it? If you live in Brasilia, invite your buddies and tell them that they won´t have to touch their wallet for great entertainment and catch a movie at the National Museum…but if you can´t make it to the festival, it is definitely worth renting. Grab your popcorn and have a good film!
