You Are Not My Mother

An opening flashback scene shows Rita taking her infant granddaughter Charlotte (“Char”) into the woods, while the baby’s mother Angela protests. In the wood, Rita sits the baby on the ground and lights a ring of fire around her. She watches as the baby screams …

In the present day, the teenage Char lives with her mother and grandmother, and her uncle Aaron. The household is somewhat dysfunctional; Rita is in poor health, Angela is depressed and spends much of her time in bed, and there is no food in the house.
