Set in California’s tranquil and dusty San Joaquin Valley, Yesterday Haze tells the story of a farmer’s wife who, after maintaining a decades-long affair with a crop duster pilot, decides to come clean to her husband (who also happens to be her lover’s employer). The juicy and subtly sinister story unfolds like a dream, delicately shifting perceptions like the colors of a dimming dusk. It is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, a feat difficult to pull off with such ease.
