“The secrets that hold us together can also tear us apart.”

Drama

Summer heats up in rural Louisiana beside Eve’s Bayou, 1962, as the Batiste family tries to survive the secrets they’ve kept and the betrayals they’ve endured.

VIBE

A humid, dreamlike haze hangs over this Southern Gothic tale. It's a sensual, melancholic immersion into family secrets and the intoxicating pull of superstition, felt through the eyes of a child.
