Alegría
Saturday, November 5 @ 7:15 PM - Regal Cinema, North Brunswick
This uplifting drama about friendship, family, and reconciliation centers on Alegría who has been distanced from her family and her Jewish heritage for years. When her niece plans a traditional wedding in the family’s native city of Melilla, Alegría must come to terms with her past. The picturesque Mediterranean coastal city--where Jews, Christians, and Muslims converge—offers a stunning backdrop to this bright and funny film. The lives of the diverse women of Alegría are a richly woven tapestry of love, courage, and compassion, and are based on the director’s own experiences growing up in Melilla.
