Tar Baby

In this emotionally charged reinvention of the love story by Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison, we meet Jadine Childs, a Black fashion model entwined with a white patron and boyfriend, who grapples with her identity and desires. Her life intersects dramatically with Son, a Black fugitive who embodies both her loathing and longing. Spanning locations from the Caribbean to Manhattan and the deep South, the narrative explores complex themes of obligation and betrayal among races and genders, all conveyed through Morrison's arresting imagery and poetic language.
