'Grocer's Son' at main library

The Charleston County Main Library will show the film "The Grocer's Son" at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

It is summer, and 30-year-old Antoine is forced to leave the city to return to his family in Provence. His father is sick, so he must assume the lifestyle he thought he had shed — driving the family grocery cart from hamlet to hamlet, delivering supplies to the few remaining inhabitants. Accompanied by Claire, a friend from Paris whom he has a secret crush on, Antoine gradually warms up to his experience in the country and his encounters with the villagers, who initially seem stubborn and gruff, but ultimately prove to be funny and endearing.

This film is in French with English subtitles. The main library is at 68 Calhoun St. on the peninsula. For more information, call 805-6930.

Not-fiction book discussion Tuesday

The Charleston County Main Library will host a Not-Fiction book discussion at 7 p.m. Tuesday on "The Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic," by Alison Bechdel.
