They call themselves "The Five" - Sally and Emily Prince, Jed and Raymond Tatro, and Donny. As children of the 1950s they are filled with wild ambition, determined to live gaudy, expensive lives. But the 1960s see them growing up and moving on - into sex, love, marriage and politics - and the painful knowledge that some vows are meant to be broken.
'Original Sins' is a wonderfully moving evocation of childhood, a send-up of 1960s high school life, a satire on Southern rednecks and Northern liberals and, ultimately, a lyrical, ironic and bittersweet tale of the South.
