This month's movie will be "That Evening Sun" starring the 85-year old Hal Holbrook in what many are saying is the performance of his career. Holbrook plays Abner Meecham, who has decided to return to his home after being placed in a nursing home by his son. When he returns he discovers his son has rented it out to another family. The movie pits Meecham (who is wanting to return home) with a young family trying to build a home for themselves. The movie looks to raise good questions about our attachment to place, what makes something a home, the caretaking role, and honoring our own journey through life and it's changes.
