From Gen Z to the Greatest Generation, all are welcome at this intergenerational conversation aimed at fostering connection and understanding. The goal of this event is to open conversations between people of different ages about relationships and belonging.

Adults and teens (high school and above) are invited to attend. Desde la generación conocida como Gen Z hasta la Generación de la Gran Guerra, todas las personas son bienvenidas a esta conversación intergeneracional diseñada para fomentar los vínculos interpersonales y la comprensión. El objetivo de este evento es iniciar conversaciones entre personas de distintas edades sobre las relaciones interpersonales y el sentido de pertenencia. Durante esta conversación guiada, pasarás tiempo en grupos pequeños compartiendo tus ideas sobre la creación de vínculos y relaciones afectivas, los desafíos que enfrentas en esta parte de tu vida, y lo que desearías que otras generaciones supieran.

However, amid their ugly separation, new DNA evidence is uncovered in the case against Adam, forcing the police to reopen the investigation and putting Sarah right back in the spotlight. When the woman Bob slept with is reported missing, he and Sarah start to fight dirty, and a high-stakes game of cat and mouse ensues"
