Synopsis |
|
Writer/director Tag Purvis's first
feature film is an atmospheric and
provocative coming of age story set
in rural Mississippi. It stars Dan
Montgomery and Aleksa Palladino as
Griffith and Emily, two adolescent
cousins who care for their
handicapped Aunt Summer (Black) and
spend their days doing chores,
romping in the nude, and unabashedly
carrying on a tentative sexual
relationship. However, their lives
change when a handsome stranger
named Lee Todd rents a nearby
cottage, provoking unexpected
romantic and sexual longings in
Griffiths. Tantalized by the
prospect of romance and escape from
his life, Griffith and Lee begin
spending most of their time
together. Feeling shunned, Emily
turns to Aunt Summer for
companionship as each of the
characters come to grips with the
mundane and oppressive way life is
lived in their corner of the world. |
