What Is Trilogy About?

The premise of Trilogy without spoilers.

Trilogy is an anthology film that adapts three Truman Capote short stories—‘Miriam,’ ‘Among the Paths to Eden,’ and ‘A Christmas Memory.’ The three segments are presented together as a single work. It was selected for competition at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, but the event was cancelled after the May 1968 upheavals in France.
