Memory Box

Maia, a single mother, lives in Montreal with her teenage daughter, Alex. On Christmas Eve, they receive an unexpected delivery: notebooks, tapes, and photos Maia sent to her best friend from 1980’s Beirut.

Maia refuses to open the box or confront its memories, but Alex secretly begins diving into it. Between fantasy and reality, Alex enters the world of her mother’s tumultuous, passionate adolescence during the Lebanese civil war, unlocking mysteries of a hidden past.

We’re delighted to be back at the excellent Roots Lebanese restaurant. There will be a special offer menu available on the night for those wanting to eat before or during the screening as well as their regular menu.

With thanks to Roots and InStreatham – our sponsors.
