In Julius Amédée-Laou's biting dramedy, a supposedly joyful interracial wedding descends into chaos when long-buried prejudices and family secrets rise to the surface. Told through the cocky lens of the bride's younger brother, what begins as a lighthearted summer affair turns nightmarish as scandal threatens to destroy the unlikely couple's big day.

Hard Truths

Hard Truths

Pansy is a woman so full of rage that every interaction she has devolves into lashing out, whether at her utterly cowed husband and son, or random strangers who have the temerity to address her. In contrast, her younger sister Chantelle lives with her two vivacious daughters and plies a successful trade as a hairdresser, putting clients at their ease all day long. Yet beneath Pansy’s abrasive exterior are hints of a more fragile psyche, one motivated by fear and damaged by repressed pain.
