Guten Tag, Ramon
Friday, November 10, 3:30 p.m.
Student Union, Den.
Guten Tag, Ramon tells the story of Ramon, a young man from a small northern Mexican town who has tried, unsuccessfully, to cross the U.S. border five times. Back home he refuses to become a criminal. He decides instead to travel to Germany and contact a friend's aunt but his plans go awry when he can't find her. He struggles to survive on the streets, not properly prepared for the harsh weather and carrying practically no money, until he meets Ruth, a retired and lonely woman. Moving beyond language barriers and prejudices, they develop an amazing friendship.
The movie is in German and Spanish with English subtitles. Refreshments will be served. A student panel will follow the screening.
This free showing is a collaboration between the German and Spanish programs in the Department of Languages and the Spanish and German student clubs.
