Movie night at Il Caffé, a charming Italian restaurant on a pedestrian road behind the Peón Contreras theater. Have dinner on your own at 6 to enjoy a free movie, aimed at English-speaking audiences, at 7.
This night brings us an award-winning documentary about the life of a remarkable woman, Holocaust survivor and sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Funny and poignant, “Ask Dr. Ruth” (2019) revisits her painful past and follows her rise to international recognition as sex adviser for the masses. Her sense of humor and quick wit helped her survive the atrocities of the Holocaust, and are still in evidence today, even as she approaches her 90th birthday. “She had me at ‘I have to tell you, short people make the best lovers,’ ” says movie-night organizer Nic Lavroff.
