About this Event

Join us for a free screening of Driving Madeleine, which follows 92-year-old Madeleine and her much younger cab driver, Charles on a trip like no other. The unlikely pair meader through the streets of Paris as Madeleine - reluctantly en route to her new nursing home - points out significant places from her past.

Morning tea provided. Bookings essential.

About the movie

Madeleine is 92 and, after a fall at her home, is being forced to move into an assisted living facility across Paris. When he picks her up, taxi driver Charles thinks Madeleine will be just another normal passenger going from point A to B, until she requests multiple detours through the city of lights. Frustrated at first, Charles begins to soften as Madeleine shares deeply personal stories connected to each significant location they pass.

Accessibility

This event will be held in the Conference Room on Level 2 and is accessible for people using mobility aids via lift.
