Film screening
On Wednesday, April 13, at 2 p.m., the senior center will feature a full-length movie entitled His Neighbor Phil, produced and presented by SYNERGY HomeCare, a national franchise of non-medical home care. The movie is free and open to the public; light refreshments will be provided by SYNERGY HomeCare of Fairfield. A question-and-answer session will follow the screening.
His Neighbor Phil tells the story of Harvey and his wife Mary, who suffers from early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Mary’s scattered memory and seeming obsession with their neighbor make Harvey question his marriage. Through a touching twist, Harvey discovers the secret to bringing his beloved Mary back into the present. The film stars well-known actors Stephanie Zimbalist (Remington Steele), Daniel Roebuck (The Fugitive, Lost, Glee), and Oscar nominee Sally Kellerman (“M*A*S*H”).
