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

Drama

At the Doll House, a 1930s New Orleans bordello, Hallie is the main attraction both for clients and for Jo, the madame. Her comfortable if tedious life is disrupted by the arrival in town of Dove Linkhorn, her true love of three years before who is now searching for her. When Linkhorn learns the truth of her profession he triggers a chain of events involving a number of people, including the young Kitty with whom he travelled from Texas and who is now the Doll House newest recruit.

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.
