ThrillerDramaRomance

In the wake of Jamaican emancipation, French colonist Annette Cosway falls into poverty and marries racist Englishman Paul Mason. But when Annette's young son dies in a fire started by former slaves, Mason flees to England, leaving his grief-stricken wife and her Creole daughter Antoinette behind. Soon Antoinette learns she must marry to claim her inheritance and sets her sights on Rochester, an Englishman eerily similar to Mason.

VIBE

A haunting, atmospheric descent into psychological turmoil. Lush visuals contrast with oppressive dread, exploring the suffocating weight of history and the fragility of the mind. It feels like a fever dream you can't quite wake from.
