Opis

In 1850 near Port Gibson, Mississippi, a slave boy with grey eyes and his master's son begin an unlikely friendship that will defy all the societal conventions of their time and destroy an entire family before it comes to its tragic end. One-hundred and sixty years later, several lifetimes removed, and roughly fifty miles away, the former son of a preacher, now openly gay and a widower, meets a hauntingly familiar man, falls in love and returns to church to give his daughter a Christian upbringing. There, however, he finds himself in a volatile conflict with the preacher of his church after a confrontation over homophobic comments the preacher makes during at a gay man's funeral inspires the preacher's son to consider coming out of the closet. Spanning nearly two centuries, A DAY AND A HALF is a testament to the power, resilience, and undying nature of love-existing outside of the confines of time.
