The story

Blanche DuBois, a faded Southern belle from Laurel, Mississippi, arrives unannounced at her sister Stella's cramped New Orleans apartment in the gritty Elysian Fields Avenue neighborhood. Disheveled and haunted by her lost family estate and scandalous past, Blanche clashes immediately with Stella's husband, Stanley Kowalski—a poker-playing, working-class Pole who resents her airs and uncovers her lies about a failed marriage, job loss, and prostitution. Blanche flirts with Stanley's gentle friend Mitch, dreaming of escape through romance, but Stanley rapes her on her birthday, shattering her illusions.
