Directed by Darnell Martin and starring Halle Berry as Janie Crawford, the film tells the story of Janie's journey of self-discovery, love, and independence in early 20th century America. The plot focuses on her three marriages, especially her third marriage to Tea Cake, which brings true love and challenges.
