Movie: Age of Adaline
The Bar Harbour auditorium will host a 1:30 and 6:30 p.m. screening of the movie Age of Adaline. In 1935, a near-death experience changes 29-year-old Adaline’s life; from that day on, she never grows older. Through eight adventure-filled decades, Adaline guards her secret—and her heart. But an affair with a charming philanthropist (Michiel Huisman) and a weekend with his parents (Harrison Ford and Kathy Baker) forces Adaline to confront her destiny in this unforgettable tale about the timeless power of love. Starring Blake Lively, Michiel Huisman and Harrison Ford (2015; PG-13, 1 hr 50 mins).
