The library's free foreign film series presents French director  Frédéric Mermoud's award-winning drama, screening at the Chief Theater.

To  find  the  driver  of  the  vintage  mocha-colored  Mercedes  which  she thinks  hit  her  son  and devastated her life, Diane Kramer embarks on a trip to take revenge. She goes to Évian, where she has learned the driver of the Mercedes lives, but she now has to face another woman, Marlene--a beauty salon proprietor and owner of the car. In order  to  get  closer  to  her,  Diane  pretends  to  be  a  potential  buyer  for  the  car,  but  the  path  of revenge is more tortuous and complicated than it seems. Adapted from Tatiana de Rosnay’s 2006 novel, Moka is  a  moody,  riveting  psychological thriller,  showcasing  the tremendous talents of two of France’s best actresses.
