The Film Lovers in Carroll County (FLICC) select four international films that broaden our view of cinema. This year’s films immerse audiences in new cultures and stories, from a toilet cleaner in Tokyo who reflects on finding beauty in the world, to a man embarks on an emotional journey to find his first love, to the two-bit Berlin criminal Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu), to a Parisian taxi driver and his elderly passenger.
