The movie
Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize for dramatic feature and the Audience Award for U.S. dramatic film at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, director Ryan Coogler's Fruitvale Station follows the true story of Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan), a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of December 31, 2008 and feels something in the air.
Not sure what it is, he takes it as a sign to get a head start on his resolutions: being better son to his mother (Octavia Spencer), whose birthday falls on New Year's Eve, being a better partner to his girlfriend Sophina (Melonie Diaz), who he hasn't been completely honest with as of late, and being a better father to Tatiana (Ariana Neal), their beautiful four year-old daughter. Crossing paths with friends, family and strangers, Oscar starts out well, as the day goes on, he realizes that changes are not going to come easily. His resolve takes a tragic turn, however, when BART officers shoot him in cold blood at the Fruitvale subway stop on New Year's Day. Oscar's life and tragic death would shake the Bay Area - and the entire nation - to its very core.

OXFAM'S breakfast @ Sleep Well on saturday 11 & sunday 12/10/2014
For this edition of the breakfasts, and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Oxfam in Belgium, Oxfam choose to put in the spotlight a product we consume daily and often for breakfast: orange juice. Behind the juice of this fruit that we love so much, there is a whole particularly affected by the malfunctioning of the system of international commerce. The campaign, presented as early as September in the World Shops-Oxfam and on their website, will be mainly driven by BREAKFAST and 200 teams of volunteers who organize them.
For the sixth time, the Sleep Well joins the event. This year, we organized two fair breakfast for our customers and partners on Saturday and Sunday from 7am to 10am. If you want to join us you can register by calling us at 02 226 57 25
