TERMINUS tells the story of Eller--a progressive white matriarch--and her mixed-race grandson, Jaybo, who live together down by the railroad tracks in rural Georgia.
When Eller's mind begins to fade, her violent past in the segregated South haunts her from the very walls of the old family home. And as she descends terrifyingly closer toward a horrifying truth, Jaybo’s capacity to love his grandmother is put to the test.
In a lyrical style that blends psychological realism with expressionism,
Terminus is a family drama that metaphorically asks how are white Americans haunted by and continually complicit in the sustained trauma against black Americans.
