Event Details

The AuctionProsser Public Library in Bloomfield presents The Auction, a film from Canada.   Directed by Sebastien Pilote, the film is in French with English subtitles and runs for 111 minutes.  A man of few words, Gaby manages his family's farm - Buchard & Sons - on his own, despite his advancing age. With his two grown daughters living in the city, he spends his days tending to the animals and land that surround him, eschewing modern technology and most social interactions. When his eldest daughter, Marie, appears at the family homestead to share news that she's finally getting divorced and in desperate need of money in order to keep the home where she and her children live, Gaby's quiet life begins to move in a new direction. In an effort to tend to his children much the way he steadfastly tends to his farm, he'll makes decisions he never intended for the sake of those closest to him.  No registration necessary.
