Innocence has never been so seductive.

Drama

Rose is taken in by the Hillyer family to serve as a 1930s housemaid so that she can avoid falling into a life of prostitution. Her appearence and personality is such that all men fall for her, and she knows it. She can't help herself from getting into trouble with men.

VIBE

A sun-drenched, humid Georgia summer permeates this coming-of-age story. It feels like a hazy memory, full of unspoken desires and the quiet ache of burgeoning womanhood. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension and a languid, sensual energy.
