Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
All her life, from Puerto Rico to Boston, Elena's first language has been Spanish. Suddenly in the middle of a fight with her mother, Meche, over her not-so-ex-lover Tito, Elena loses her ability to understand or speak any Spanish-- except for a haunting song her long-missing father sang to her as a child. This mysterious loss causes much laughter and pain, and forces Elena, Meche, and Tito to re-examine what they mean to each other and how they communicate.
