Eve’s Bayou (1997)

What is it about?

In the sweltering Louisiana bayou of 1962, ten-year-old Eve Batiste lives in a seemingly idyllic Creole family—prosperous, respected, and steeped in Southern charm. But when she witnesses her charming, philandering father (Samuel L. Jackson) with another woman, the fragile facade of their world begins to crack.
