'Central Station' -- a tale of love and forgiveness
E-town College presents Golden Globe award-winning film Feb. 16

The Friends of the High Library and the Office of International Programs at Elizabethtown College present "Central Station," an emotional and enduring tale of love and forgiveness, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 16, in the College's Brinser Lecture Room, Steinman Center.

The film portrays the powerful bond a young boy creates with a lonely retired schoolteacher after witnessing his mother's accidental death. Directed by Walter Salles, "Central Station" follows the two in their search to find the boy's father while restoring hope, and learning valuable life lessons along the way.

"Central Station" (aka Central do Brasil) won the Los Angeles Film Critics and Golden Globe award for best foreign language film and was nominated for an Academy Award in 1999. This event, which is free and open to the public, is the fourth in the High Library Film series, titled "Bringing the World to E-town."
