Mississippi Mermaid
“The bride came as advertised... with an unadvertised special.”
RomanceDramaCrimeThriller
A tobacco planter on Réunion island in the Indian Ocean becomes engaged through correspondence to a French woman he does not know. The woman that arrives does not look like the picture he received, but he marries her anyway.
VIBE
A languid, sun-drenched descent into obsession. The air is thick with unspoken desire and the creeping dread of betrayal. It's a hypnotic, tropical noir where paradise feels like a gilded cage.
