Award-winning Irish film A Want in Her opens in October
The trailer for the award-winning Irish film A Want in Her has been released ahead of the documentary's arrival in cinemas in October.
The synopsis says: "When her 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 a history that threatens to take everyone down, including herself.
"Intimate, surprising, and often darkly funny conversations with her mother and other family members reveal the trials of loving someone who struggles with addiction and madness.
" A Want in He r is an immersive, first-person account of the cost of love and how difficult it can be to escape.
"It asks the universal question: how can we be with those we love without losing ourselves?"
Speaking about her film's release, director Myrid Carten said: " A Want in Her is a film for the big screen, and I'm delighted it will be in cinemas across Ireland and the UK in October.
"Some of the best moments of the festival run have been seeing it connect with audiences and getting messages like 'what a feeling to be in a cinema where everyone is just entirely focused and immersed in what is happening on the screen'."
Winner of the Audience Award and the Documentary Award at the Dublin International Film Festival (DIFF), A Want in Her is released in cinemas on Friday 10 October.
