(FULLY BOOKED) The Lesson: In-Person Screening and Q&A

WFTV members are invited to this special intimate screening of The Lesson, directed by Alice Troughton, and starring Julie Delpy, Richard E. Grant and Daryl McCormack.

The screening will be followed by a up an up close and personal Q&A with UK director Alice Troughton. There will be an opportunity to ask Alice questions during the Q&A after the screening.

Liam (Daryl McCormack), an aspiring and ambitious young writer, eagerly accepts a tutoring position at the family estate of his idol, renowned author J.M. Sinclair (Academy Award nominee Richard E. Grant). But soon, Liam realizes that he is ensnared in a web of family secrets, resentment, and retribution. Sinclair, his wife Hélène (Academy Award nominee Julie Delpy), and their son Bertie (Stephen McMillan) all guard a dark past, one that threatens Liam’s future as well as their own. As the lines between master and protégé blur, class, ambition, and betrayal become a dangerous combination in this taut noir thriller.
