Monday Movie: Mother of Mine October 15, 2007

During World War II, more than 70,000 Finnish children were evacuated to neutral Sweden to avoid the conflict. MOTHER OF MINE tackles that painful patch of history in a tale of nine-year-old Eero, a child who increasingly feels abandoned by his biological Finnish mother and yet not attached to his Swedish surrogate mom. When he is returned to Finland, his confusion intensifies. Monday, October 15, at 7 pm. Free.
