Running time: 84 minutes

75-year-old Germain (Francois Berleand) has a relaxed lifestyle many of us would envy. That is until the day his wife dies very unexpectedly. This sudden change to life gives Germain a new focus. Firstly, to avoid all the family and neighbours who are overwhelming him with support and secondly, to take his wife’s place in a contemporary dance group without his relatives knowing. Last Dance deals with the powerful subject of bereavement empathetically, yet with a wry sense of humour, which ultimately makes for an uplifting experience. No wonder Last Dance won the Best Film at the Locarno International Film Festival. Please note: There will be no ads or trailers, so please arrive promptly at the advertised start time.
