Relations between Christians and Muslims are newsworthy these days. A new film to be shown at Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art addresses this issue in a way appropriate to Valentine’s Day, in a comic-romantic way.

“Alex and Eve” tells a story set in Sydney, Australia. Alex, a schoolteacher who is Greek Orthodox, falls in love with Eve, a Lebanese Muslim lawyer. Of course both families object to the match.

Showtime is Thursday, Feb. 11, at 7 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 13 and 14, at 2 p.m. The museum is at 600 Main St. in Hartford. Admission is $9, $8 seniors and students, $7 members, Insider Access and higher members free.

A love-themed Jazz Brunch will be held in the museum cafe before the Valentine’s Day screening, for an additional admission. Tickets: eventbrite.com Information: thewadsworth.org.
