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. A Want In Her is an immersive, first person account of the cost of love, and how difficult it can be to escape.
“The work of an artist, one who is making her own rules about how to tell this story, far from documentary dogmas … A Want in Her is reminiscent, at times, of the work of Jonathan Glazer. But it’s too original and accomplished for such parallels to stick.”

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