When her alcoholic and bipolar mother goes missing somewhere in Ireland, artist Myrid Carten returns from London to find her. Her search takes her into a feuding family, a contested house, and life-threatening secrets from a history that threatens to take everyone down, including herself.
A Want In Her is an immersive, first person account of the cost of love, and how difficult it can be to escape. Featuring intimate home video filmed over 30 years and using evocative, immersive filmmaking techniques, Myrid turns her camera on her troubled mother as she battles with alcoholism and depression. Described as "reminiscent, at times, of the work of Jonathan Glazer", Carten has created a powerful creative documentary, establishing her as an immense talent to watch.
“A profound reprocessing of personal archives and piercing conversations ... clearly impresses as a debut and could become essential viewing for anyone grappling with the indescribable complexities within a mother-daughter relationship.” Cineuropa
