Synopsis: When we watch this movie, we enter a world of privilege created by Paul’s father, Alonzo who was a judge, successful landowner and businessman married to a strong creole lady. From the very first scene, events and characters begin to define a world, set in time and place, with implied values and social nuances that are southern without projecting class, status or a sense of arrogance that is usually associated with families who have achieved a high level of success.
