Little Birds
Created by Sophia Al-Maria
On Sky Atlantic
A sensual, morally ambiguous exploration of desire and transgression set in 1950s Tangier, following a privileged woman's sexual and social awakening outside the bounds of her marriage.
We arrive with New York heiress Lucy Savage fresh off the transatlantic steamer and ready for love and marriage in exotic climes. But when her husband Hugo does not receive her in the way she expected, she spins off into the surprising, diverse and degenerate world of Tangier in 1955.
