Harvard Film Archive. Carpenter Center. $5 for students.

"Evdokia" at 7 p.m. A drama of passion, in which main characters are a sergeant and a prostitute who get married after a brief and passionate idyll. With everything moving between violent sensuality, cruelty, coarseness and total austerity, this story assumes the dimension of an ancient tragedy reconfirming the profound cinematic sensitivity of its director, Damianos, especially in depicting the authentic environment in which the agony of sin takes place.

"Happy Day" at 9 p.m. Based on the novel, The Plage, by Andreas Frangais, this film is a socio-political drama, whose protagonists are members of a group of exiles, their guards and the official visitors, focusing on the complex relationship between them. Situated on a barren island, with the strong wind and burning sun, this closed society symbolizes a concentration camp with its imaginary characters participating in a rhythmic ritual, while searching for human dignity and the essence of things.
