A tense scene on a small porch features three characters from Lee Daniels' "The Deliverance." A young boy stands in the doorway, wearing a plaid shirt and beige shorts, looking serious. A teenage girl sits in a chair facing sideways, wearing glasses, a pink shirt, and white pants, with a distant expression.
