The Picture House

Dir: Iciar Bollain 109 mins
An award-winning tale of domestic abuse. Laia Marull gives a terrific performance as Pilar, a terrified housewife on the run from husband Antonio and his regular outbursts of violent rage. Taking refuge with her sister Ana , she tries to build a new life - but she's still in love with the man who beat her.
Scooping seven Goya awards (Spain's equivalent of the Oscars), Iciar Bollain's film asks tough questions about violent men and the women who love them.
WHITE RIBBON CAMPAIGN is of men aiming to end men’s violence against women. On the night of this film there will be a White Ribbon Campaign information stall in the foyer.
