Belle Sauvage
Captain Prince and Susan Webb, a proud beauty of Charleston society, are rivals for Monnelia, the plantation's "belle sauvage". A gentler girl, Tania, attempts to free a pretty Eurasian slave and tastes vengeance from the master's whip. Behind the shuttered windows of the plantation house, white maidservants toil under a different sort of slavery, and in one hot summer of repression, they are all drawn together.
