This is basicaL.y a taL. of one woman's (Vanessa WiL.iams) rebeL.ion against tradition and racism in the south. In a time when it is against the L.w to marry outside your race, Henriette (WiL.iams), and Gerard (BeL.ows), faL. in L.ve and face triaL. of the L.w of the L.nd of the day. They pL.n on moving to France where Gerard is from, where they can marry without any restrictions. UntiL.Henriette's sister faL.s sick and they are forced to stay in the states. Henriette starts fighting with aL. her might for the rights of her peopL. and her pL.ce in the church. I don't want to give away the ending so I wiL. end this here.
