occupied France while British spies gather

woman plots to avenge the death of her
family all whose fates are set to connect.

This fall, the College of Arts and Sciences' Themester explores
the theme of Good Behavior, Bad Behavior: Molecules to Mo-
rality. Films were chosen to complement Themester courses
and contribute to our understanding of the possibilities and
limits of distinguishing "good" from "bad" behavior; panel
discussions with Themester faculty members will follow
most screenings. This series is sponsored by the College of
Arts and Sciences and IU Cinema. All Themester screenings
are free, but ticketed.
