| FILM |
| FRI-MON Marjorie Prime at The Little Cinema |
 Eighty-six-year-old Marjorie (Lois Smith) spends her final days with a computerized version of her deceased husband (Jon Hamm). With the intent to recount their life together, Marjorie's "Prime" relies on information from her and her kin to develop an understanding of his history. As their interactions deepen, the family begins to develop diverging recounts of their lives, drawn by the chance to reconstruct the past. |
