November: Linda veut du poulet ! / Chicken for Linda! (2023)
Director: Sébastien Laudenbach and Chiara Malta

Paulette, a widow, wrongfully scolds her daughter, Linda, for losing her engagement ring. To make amends, Paulette will do anything Linda wishes, and what she desires most is her late father’s favorite meal of chicken and peppers. What ensues is a mother’s chaotic journey to fetch a chicken amidst a city-wide strike to win her daughter’s forgiveness.

Discussions will take place on the fourth Monday of each month. Participants are encouraged to
