Used and Borrowed Time

Eva Gold visits an Autumn Fair in Birmingham where she encounters deep-rooted racism.

Eva relives her tormented youth and the ramifications of her ill-fated interracial love affair.

The incestuous relationship between Uncle Wade and his hen-pecked nephew, Jed, who struggles with his sexual identity; Blanche wages verbal warfare upon her deranged children as they await the arrival of Lorna for Christmas.

Older Eva remains at odds with her own self as she confronts the bigoted demons of the present day; as Young Eva Gold commences upon her lover's journey, Roy poetically laments his demeaned position as a black man.

A dream sequence in which Jed and Wade Woods fancy themselves as talented performers on stage; battle-axe Blanche depicts the worst in humanity by chastising her children and the fearful lovers.

The apogee of sadism is reached as the Woods Clan receives retaliation from Weldon Johnson and his partner in crime, who barges in on the Woods family, interrupting their ungodly Christmas feast.
