Appreciate the art of cinema? Join us to watch, then discuss a foreign film led by members of Geneva's International Cultural Exchange Committee (ICEC). This month's selection is The Maid / La Nana (Chile). After 23 years working as a devoted maid in an upper-class Chilean household, embittered and ailing Raquel can no longer care for the family alone. Trapped by guilt, matriarch Pilar refuses to let Raquel go, even though it is clear their longtime maid is slowly unraveling. Instead, Pilar hires more help, throwing Raquel into a jealous frenzy. The seemingly happy home soon becomes the stage for Raquel's dirty tricks as she attempts to drive away anyone who threatens to take her place. Released in 2009. Run time is 1 hr 36 min. NR. This film was chosen in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated annually from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15.
