A Want In Her

1h 21m Documentary 2024

When her mother goes missing somewhere in Ireland, Irish filmmaker Myrid Carten returns from London to find her. Her search takes her into a feuding family, a contested house; and a history that threatens to take everyone down, including herself.

A WANT IN HER is an immersive, first person account of the cost of family love, and how difficult it can be to escape.

“Raw, searing… a daughter’s shattering testament to her mother’s absence, presence and endurance… passages of cathartic beauty, grace and even humor.” – Variety
