Blanche comes to stay with her estranged sister Stella during a sweltering New Orleans summer. Her arrival unsettles the household, especially as Stella’s husband Stanley grows suspicious of the past Blanche has brought with her. As he closes in on the truth, Blanche’s carefully maintained version of reality begins to crack.
A pressure-cooker domestic tragedy where desire, suspicion and self-invention collide inside a family home, with reality and illusion increasingly difficult to keep apart.
Southern settings, volatile family relationships, doomed characters and psychological drama.
