Crackie (Encore Screening)

Seventeen-year-old Mitsy lives in a ramshackle house in a small town, with her grandmother, Bride, who has raised her since she was four. Bride spends her days scrounging in the local dump and her nights entertaining men in her bedroom. Mitsy dreams of ditching her harshtongued grandmother and running off to find the mother (Gwennie) who deserted her. But when Gwennie turns up unexpectedly and wreaks havoc in their lives, Mitsy is forced to decide whether the woman who raised her is her enemy, or her strongest ally.
