Overview

A Southern Gothic parable (truncated on-screen as “The Life You Save”) that twists the typical story of chivalrous boy-meets-girl romance, it follows a seemingly aimless drifter who inserts himself into the isolated lives of an old spinster and her invalid daughter. Adaptation of the short story by Flannery O’Connor.

Directed by Herschel Daugherty
