A Want in Her

Synopsis

You can't choose what you inherit.
This documentary offers an uncompromising look at what gets passed down. Framed around a contested house in the west of Ireland, it is a coming-of-age story - a survival story - about the cost of love; and how difficult it can be to escape.
