Why Not Me? (Pourquoi pas moi?)
Directed by  Stéphane Giusti
France
FLORIDA PREMIERE
Thursday, April 13, 2000
7:00 PM
Colony Theatre

The setting is Barcelona. The characters are a group of young French expatriates living la vida loca, each to varying degrees. Three lesbians, the sexy butch heartbreaker Eve and the couple Camille and Ariane, and their gay male best friend, the cute-as-a-button Nick,  make up this delightfully mixed crowd, along with their straight co-worker Lili, whoasks herself "why not me?"   They all decide (even Lili)  to come out to their parents in one fell swoop by inviting them to Camille's mother's house for the weekend - she is the one parent whoknows, so accepting she flies a rainbow flag outside her country home.  In this prototypical French farce, of course, all hell eventually breaks loose, and it is the parents who harbor some of the most surpassing and hilarious secrets of all.  From Nick's diva-chanteuse mother to Eve's macho bullfighter father to Lili's itinerant musician parents, couples of all ages and proclivities  are fated to break-up and reunite in this effervescent and delightful film whose message is an age-old one: be true to yourself and your heart.  In French with English subtitles.
Director Stéphane Giusti will attend the screening and discuss his work with the audience
