Synopsis

Over the course of a long, hot Louisiana summer, 10-year-old Eve discovers that her family’s affluent existence is merely a facade. The philandering of her suave doctor father creates a rift, throwing Eve’s mother and teenage sister into emotional turmoil.

Our take

A Southern Gothic tale set in a momentous summer, Kasi Lemmons award-winning debut is a magnetic pull into the world of childhood and a darkly magical reckoning with the shadow that tragedy casts over memory. Within its tenderness lays a breadth of wisdom on the ties that bind a family. Essential.
