Nightjohn
Synopsis
Sarny (Allison Jones), a 12-year-old slave girl in the ante-bellum South, faces a relatively hopeless life. Her chief duties at the plantation of Clel Waller (Beau Bridges) are serving at table, spitting tobacco juice on roses to prevent bugs, and secretly conveying intimate messages between Waller’s wife, Callie (Kathleen York), and Dr. Chamberlaine.
