The Hispanic Film Series offered by the Missouri University of Science and Technology arts, languages, and philosophy department will continue this April with a viewing of the comedy-drama “The Second Mother.”

The film, which is free and open to the public, begins at 7 p.m. Friday, April 7, in Room G-5 of the Humanities and Social Sciences Building on the Missouri S&T campus. The film will be screened in Spanish with English subtitles.

“The Second Mother” is the story of Val, a live-in Nanny working in São Paulo, Brazil. Val has worked for the same family for 13 years when her daughter, whom she left behind in northern Brazil, arrives in São Paulo to take her college entrance exams. After 13 years apart it is a difficult adjustment for the two women to begin cohabitating, made more difficult by Jessica’s attitude towards Val and the family she works for. Everyone is affected by Jessica’s disposition and Val is thrust right in the middle of it.

Released in 2015, the film is a production of Brazil.

The final film in the series, “Ixcanul, Valcano,” will be screened at 7 p.m. Friday, April 28, in Room G-5 Humanities and Social Sciences Building on the Missouri S&T campus.
