"The Salt of Life," showing Monday-Thursday, April 2-5 and Saturday, April 7, is about Gianni, a 60-year-old retired man who helpfully gives a hand to all those who need one: shopping for his wife, walking the pretty neighbor's dog and so on. Everybody likes Gianni, but who loves him? Agreed, being kind to them, he is the ladies' pet, but he does not attract them anymore. That is why, when his macho lawyer friend Alfonso blames him for not having young mistresses "like every other senior Italian male," Gianni begins to ask himself questions about what it is like to become old.  The film is in Italian with English subtitles and is rated PG. 

Tickets are $6 for regular admission and $5 for senior citizens, faculty and children. Students with a valid Hope ID get in free.

Note that the film will not be shown on Good Friday.
