Y Tu Mamá También costars Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna are reunited for this Mexican soccer comedy from director Carlos Cuarón.

Stepbrothers Beto (Diego Luna) and Tato (Gael Garcia Bernal) are hick; their mother seems to collect men with unerring misjudgment, and their family life is one of squabbling, children, beer and a blind devotion to soccer. They have a change in luckwhen "Batuta", a soccer talent scout, discovers them accidentally. Tato is the first to move to the big city where he becomes the star goal scorer for the prestigious Deportivo Amaranto (Amaranto Club).

Although Beto feels he has been betrayed and left behind, he soon travels to Mexico City to become the goalkeeper for Atletico Nopaleros (Nopaleros Team). At the peak of glory, they forget all animosity, although it does not last long. At the very real possibility of fulfilling all of their dreams, the siblings must face an innate rivalry as well as their own demons and limitations.

RSVP required. Seat are limited and are first-come, first-served.

Rudo y Cursi will be released in theaters on May 8th by Sony Pictures Classics.

This special evening is part of Cinema Tuesdays, a new weekly series curated by Flux celebrating innovative film at The Montalbán, Nike Sportswear’s unique retail and special events theatre in Hollywood

Based on true events, “Nobody Knows” tells the saga of a reckless mother who abandons her four illegitimate children, all begot by different fathers, in a small Tokyo apartment, leaving the eldest son to feed, clothe, and protect his siblings in a home without even basic utilities. 12-year-old Yagira Yuya, who plays the character of the eldest son Akira, won the Best Actor prize at the 2004 Cannes International Film Festival for his heartrending performance in this film that is at once a fairy-tale adventure of orphans left to abide by their own makeshift set of rules, and a gripping portrait of the realities of parental abandonment. 141 min.
Director: Kore-eda Hirokazu, Japan, 2004
With an introduction by author Annie Choi, graduate of Columbia University and the author of Happy Birthday or Whatever: Track Suits, Kim Chee, and Other Family Disasters (HarperCollins), her debut memoir on the trials and tribulations of growing up as a Korean-American immigrant in Los Angeles. She lives in New York City.
Proverb: A child who is shown love and affection through an excess of joy and peace will not be able to learn much.
