EXCLUSIVE:Irish artistMyrid Cartenwill debut her first feature-length projectA Want in Herthis month atIDFA.
We can share the first official trailer for the film above.
Once a successful social worker, Nuala suffered a mental breakdown after the sudden death of her own mother.
She shuffles between rehab clinics, psychiatric hospitals, and occasionally the street.
My mother is one of 10 children and they were all big, fascinating characters.
Six of my mothers siblings died in those three years.
In the middle of this, my mother started to spiral.
It was the first time she had to go back to the family house to live as an adult.
Carten added: The extraordinary thing about people is how they deal with their own hauntedness.
Im not the most public person, but my work is deeply personal and exposing.
I suppose I trust people enough that this specific and quite extreme story can be also universal.
Many peoples loved ones have struggles, it doesnt have to be an addiction.
And the rage that comes along with that care is universal.
I trust that these are feelings that a viewer can share.
Her work is in the Arts Council of Irelands and Arts council of Northern Irelands national collections.
Check out the trailer above.
