Based on Anne Rice's epic novel about free African Americans living in New Orleans before the Civil War, THE FEAST OF ALL SAINTS tackles ambitious and fascinating subject matter. Peter Gallagher stars as Philippe Ferronaire, a white landowner who has two families: one with his white wife and another with a black woman named Cecile (Gloria Reuben). Trouble begins when Marcel (Robert Ri'chard), Philippe's son by Cecile, learns of his heritage and finds that he can no longer marry the woman he loves because of it. Soon, Marcel has discovered the duplicitous nature of his family's social circle, and begins to realize that the social hierarchy is far more dangerous and mysterious than he ever imagined.
