In this drama exploring race and sexuality, a privileged suburban family fill their lives with daily family etiquette, social events at the club, and an overall desire to keep up with the Joneses.

The family is turned upside down when both husband and wife are faced with choices that not only create a gossip mill for the entire community but also change their entire lives forever.

'This would have been the best 'women's picture' ever made in '50s Hollywood - if anyone had been courageous enough to make it then. It's gorgeous to behold, the actors are wonderful, and Haynes' precise vision and control never waver' - Angie Errigo, Empire
