Cinema Art Theater to present ‘The Invisibles’ starting Feb. 22
Starting Friday, Feb. 22, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater will present “The Invisibles,” a testament to the resourcefulness, willpower, and sheer chance that can permit people to survive against incredible odds.
Hanni, Cioama, Eugen and Ruth are four ordinary German youths trying to navigate the scarcities and prohibitions of Berlin at the height of World War II. They hail from different social classes and different neighborhoods, but they share a single common secret: they are Jews.
Claus Räfle’s gripping docudrama traces the stories of four real-life survivors who learned that sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight. While moving between cinemas, cafés and safe houses, they dodged Gestapo and a dense network of spies and informants, knowing that certain death was just one mistake away.
Screening times are 4 p.m., Feb. 22; 3 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 24; 4 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 26; 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27; and 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 28. Admission is $8 for members and $11 for nonmembers. Customers are encouraged to purchase tickets online. If seats are available, tickets can be purchased at the theater starting 30 minutes prior to each screening.
