Story: |
Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, Skeeter (Emma Stone) is a southern
society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but
turns her friends' lives - and a Mississippi town - upside down when she
decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking
care of prominent southern families. Aibileen (Viola Davis), Skeeter's best
friend's housekeeper, is the first to open up - to the dismay of her
friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter's life-long
friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their
collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories - and
as it turns out, they have a lot to say. Along the way, unlikely
friendships are forged and a new sisterhood emerges, but not before
everyone in town has a thing or two to say themselves when they become
unwittingly - and unwillingly - caught up in the changing times.
