 It is 1933, in Alabama. Manderlay is a plantation where a group of people are living as if slavery hadn't been abolished 70 years earlier. Upon leaving Dogville in 1933, Grace and her father head far south to the state of Alabama where they arrive upon the bizarre place.
The second installment in Lars von Trier's "USA -- Land of Opportunities" trilogy. Dafoe will play the father of Grace, the central character played by Nicole Kidman in the series' first film, "Dogville," and played by Bryce Dallas Howard in "Manderlay". The film, shot entirely on a stage, is set in the American South during the 1930s and explores the repression of blacks.
Manderlay lay on a lonely plain somewhere in the deep south of the USA. It was in the year of 1933 that Grace and her father had left the township of Dogville behind them, with Grace’s unforgettable verdict: ‘If there is any town the world would be a little better without, this is it’; and had driven homewards towards the city of Denver. But being away from home is a serious matter in the gangster business, and the mice had been well and truly playing while the cat was away.
