EVERLASTING MOMENTS Dir. Jan Troell. Denmark
2008 131 mins Subtitles
Set in Sweden in the early 1900s. In a time of social change and unrest,

Paff Puff" into her life. Trouble ensues when Maria's alcoholic, womanizing
husband, feels threatened by the young man and his wife's newfound outlook
on life.
