In January as part of CINÉ/FEEL, the Alliance Française presents La Cage dorée (The Gilded Cage), a film by Ruben Alves. This film takes place at the crossroad of French and Portuguese cultures all in a refreshing yet singular comedy.
We cordially invite you to be our guest for this private screening on Thursday, January 23rd, 2014 at 7PM, at Alliance Française du Manitoba.
Don’t miss this one-of-kind comedy and the great performances of its actors.
SYNOPSIS : In an upscale Paris neighbourhood, Maria (Rita Blanco) and José Ribeiro (Joaquim de Almeida) have lived for nearly 30 years in the cozy little concierge’s apartment on the ground floor of an handsome 19th century building. This Portuguese couple of immigrants are universally liked: Maria is a diligent housekeeper, and José is a skilled handyman. Over the years, they’ve become an indispensable part of the daily lives of those around them.
They are so highly appreciated and well integrated, that when they have a chance to fulfill their dream to return to Portugal and live a comfortable life, nobody wants to see the Ribeiro’s leave.
Just how far will their family, their neighbors and their employers go to hold them back? And deep down, do Maria and José really want to quit France and flee their gilded cage?
*screened in French with English subtitles.
