On Thursday, June 18, at 7pm the National Hispanic Cultural Center will present a free screening of the contemporary Mexican film LuTo. This romantic drama, directed by Katrina Medina Mora, is described as “a portrait of a relationship in the process of irreversible deterioration.” Luisa and Tomás (Patricia Garza, Juan Pablo Campa) are a typical modern couple who have fallen in love and have moved in together, but soon realize they have nothing left to say to one another. The film will be presented in Spanish with English subtitles. Admission is free, but tickets need to be picked up at the Bank of America Theatre box office (1701 Fourth Street SW) one hour prior to showtime. For more info go to nationalhispaniccenter.org.
