Whe­re The Craw­dads Sing

Based on the bestselling novel by Delia Owens, the film tells the story of Kya, who is abandoned by her parents as a young girl. She raises herself alone in the dangerous swamps of North Carolina and develops into a sharp and tough young woman. For years, rumors about the "marsh girl" haunted the nearby town of Barkley Cove and excluded her from the community. When Kya feels attracted to two young men from the city, a new, astonishing world opens up for her. But when one of them is found dead, the community immediately sees Kya as the prime suspect. As the case progresses, what actually happened becomes more and more mysterious - and there is a risk that the many secrets hidden in the swamp will come to light...
