Although the family is poor, barely making enough money to survive through petty crime, they seem to live happily together until an unforeseen incident reveals hidden secrets, testing the bonds that unite them.

Here’s how to participate:

  • Zoom discussion Saturday 9/12 4:30pm. We’ll start watching the movie around 2:15 Saturday, but you can watch it earlier if that’s more convenient
  • Use the Doodle Poll link in the email to vote for movies that look good to you
  • Voting ends Thursday 6pm; we’ll then send you a Zoom invitation once the votes are tabulated.

Hope you can join us to talk about the (hopefully good) group-chosen movie!
