Some questions are never said aloud because it’s better not to hear the answers. Even when Dina Ciraulo embarks on a trip, to see the parents of her lover in Bayou country, much remains unsaid. From the very start, the trip is marred wiith mixed feelings; on the one hand there was the dream of being free in enchanting surroundings, on the other the nightmare of the lesbian couple falling prey to a bunch of rednecks. Despite (or maybe because of) this hostile environment, love blossomed – stronger than ever before, albeit behind bars.
