The Latin American Coalition is presenting the first film of its CineMas series.

The series offers screenings in each of the four seasons, starting with El Regreso (The Return).

In this visual journey, a 30-year-old man returns to his home country of Costa Rica for a short visit after a decade of living in New York.

When events force him to stay longer than expected, the trip becomes an encounter with the past he left behind: a violent country, friends he doesn't recognize and a family in crisis.

Movie-goers can catch the screening at the Mint Museum Randolph, located at 2730 Randolph Road in Charlotte, Thursday March 14, at 7 p.m.

Admission is $5 and open to ages 13 and up.

For more information on the screening, call 704-941-6735.
