Good People

On Thursday the 19th September at 6pm, WFS will be screening the entertaining French Film, Marguerite's Theorem.

Our 8pm screening will be the powerful New Zealand film, The Convert, directed by Lee Tamahore.

MARGUERITE'S THEOREM
France (English subtitles), 2023, Drama/Comedy
Rated M (strong language)

Marguerite is a brilliant young mathematician who's devoted to finding a solution to Goldbach's Conjecture, one of the oldest problems in number theory. But the day she reveals her finished thesis, a competing student finds an error in her calculations.

Devastated, Marguerite quits school to erase all evidence of her studies and wades blindly into the real world. As someone devoted to number theory, Marguerite struggles with the nuances of human behaviour but her new roommate guides her through the basics of social interaction. And it's through her adjusted perspective that Marguerite sees her thesis in a totally new light.

But, without her scholarship funding, Marguerite needs to use her mathematical genius to find a new source of income to finish her thesis. Could Mah Jong be the answer?

"Ella Rumpf is remarkable as she draws us in to her quest. A film full of humour and one not to be missed." - IMDB
