The Laundress

Synopsis

The Frankstone estate, a dilapidated mansion in Charleston, may be built of brick and stone, but the secrets rooted to the foundation of the family home haunt Delilah Frankstone as she returns after a tragic series of earth shattering events. Accompanied by her rebellious teenage daughter Vivi, the damaged mother must confront the sinister caretakers of the family home and face the new reality that the bloodline hides-an evil past, insidious secrets of abuse and diabolical plans to involve her fragile family in decades old malevolence.

The Laundress is a beautifully portrayed Southern Gothic drama of passion, survival and ultimately redemption; intricately woven around a dysfunctional family tree and the woman that must choose between conformity or love to avoid the danger that threatens them all. Deeply evocative, the performances reveal the underbelly of oppressive evil and an atmosphere thick with vengeance and hatred; a richly compelling film to the gut-wrenching end.
