Drama
In the post–World War II South, two families are pitted against a barbaric social hierarchy and an unrelenting landscape as they simultaneously fight the battle at home and the battle abroad.
VIBE
A dread-soaked, melancholic slow-burn, this film is a gritty, poignant historical drama. It immerses viewers in the raw emotional honesty of racism, class struggle, and the enduring trauma of war. Expect a naturalistic, starkly beautiful portrayal of resilience against an oppressive landscape.
