Poti, Nais, Ione, and Das are young Spanish women who live on their own terms. But as they approach their thirties, a profound unease overcomes them: they are still far from being the independent, self-confident, and passionate adults they always dreamed of being. Each has to examine her identity through dialogue, in an intimate exchange with Marina, their friend and the director of this film. Young and Beautiful is a portrait of a generation accused of not wanting to grow up, while expected to accept a hopeless world and a country in crisis, where they are told that the one way to survive is to abandon their dreams. Presented in partnership with Instituto Cervantes as part of the Bank of America Free Thursday Film Series.

Kiss of the Spider Woman by Manuel Puig in an English translation by Allan Baker, presented in partnership with The Vortex Theatre and directed by Marty Epstein, is the story of a developing relationship between two men—a gay window dresser and a dedicated socialist revolutionary—who share a cell in an Argentinian prison during the rule of the military junta in the 1970s. What brings the two together are their shared humanity and the commonalities that they discover during their time in prison. Originally Puig’s best-known novel, Kiss of the Spider Woman was later adapted by the author for the stage, and was subsequently made into both a film and a musical. While focusing on the relationship between the two main characters, it provides insight into this chaotic chapter in Argentina’s history, as well as the nature of dictatorships.
