Manderlay
Synopsis
This is the curious story of Manderlay, an isolated plantation in the deep south of the United States. In 1933, Grace and her father left the small township of Dogville behind them and returned home.
Unfortunately, when you’re a gangster, a prolonged absence can often get you into a lot of trouble. Grace and her father, along with his army of thugs, must hightail it out of their usual stamping ground and find new pastures. They spend all winter searching, with no luck. Now, in the first months of spring, they head for the south to find a place where they could at last set up house…
