On April 15, the Brazilian film “The Second Mother” will be shown. It tells the story of a woman who left her daughter to be raised by relatives so she could be a live-in nanny to a wealthy family. It is in Portuguese with subtitles.
The closing film is “Mustang,” on May 27. The Turkish-language Oscar-nominated film is about five rambunctious sisters whose family wants to force them all into marriages. It is rated PG-13.
