The reading public loves to gobble up the exploits of romantically challenged but neurotically lovable women writers. During the past decade, Carrie Bradshaw and Bridget Jones became household names thanks to their intriguing (albeit fictional) pen strokes. On a similar track is Nynne.

Tonight at the Abanico Theater in the Arts & Mind Center, Culture in the City presents the 2005 movie, which stars Mille Dinesen, at 7:30 p.m. Complimentary wine and cheese will be served at 7:00 p.m. Admission is seven bucks, but bring a little extra cash for popcorn (no dieting here tonight).
