What happens when five strangers from totally different social groups are forced to spend a Saturday together in high school detention? What do we learn about ourselves and others when labels start to fall away? Join us for a Watch & Talk centred on The Breakfast Club, the quintessential teen movie of 1980s America. Directed by John Hughes, this film became a cultural landmark for a generation. It tackled identity, loneliness, pressure, and the desire to belong. And it did so with humour, honesty, and unforgettable characters. Tonight's host, Mateusz, grew up in Europe and was deeply moved by the film, just like many Westerners over 35 who still carry its impact with them._x000D_ _x000D_ We’ll watch specially chosen scenes and reflect on how social identity, personal conflict, and bonding played out in that iconic high school setting.

Let's have a discussion that goes beyond the screen, exploring both cultural history and timeless human struggles._x000D_ _x000D_ Let’s sit back with good friends in comfy chairs as we sip on stiff cocktails, eat tasty popcorn and watch a film that arguably shaped the personalities of many middle-aged North Americans you'll meet today!
