Scene 45 of 110 · ≈ 1 min on screen · Act one
In 1932 Mississippi, gifted sharecropper-bluesman Sammie Moore wants to make a life in the blues beyond his preacher father's rules, but the opening night of his cousins' juke joint becomes a siege by a vampire offering the community belonging at the price of its freedom.
The legend and prologue frame Sammie's segregated Delta life under his father's church and the twins' shadow.
Sammie wants the freedom, recognition, and musical life he imagines beyond the plantation.
Sammie and Delta Slim help the twins nail together the stage.
The Chows arrive, and Grace works out where the new sign should go.
Annie and the women cook while the workers close the walls and finish the juke's food.
This scene
The sun retreats further towards the horizon.
The twins talk with Cornbread about how to work the door of the mill.
Smoke taps electricity from an electric pole.
Sammie places the washtub at the entrance.
