“A side of life you never expected to see on the screen!”

Drama

At a 1930s New Orleans bordello, Hallie is the main attraction for both clients and the shrewd madam. The arrival of Dove Linkhorn, her lovesick sweetheart from three years ago, disrupts the normal and triggers a chain of events involving a number of people, including the young woman he travelled with, who is now the Doll House's newest employee.

VIBE

A smoky, atmospheric dive into the lives of those on the fringes. It's a languid, character-driven mood piece, steeped in the humid air of New Orleans, exploring desire and the search for belonging.
