Summary
The story of Violet and Joe Trace, married for over 20 years, residents of Harlem in 1926. When Joe shoots his 18-year-old lover, Violet disfigures the girl's body at her funeral. As Joe mourns, Violet becomes obsessed with the lovers'… relationship. Past and present voices, like jazz, quietly sing the blues. Some strong language.
