Cotton Mary background

Cotton Mary

A British family's cultural heritage is challenged as they grapple with the lasting effects of colonialism and the hidden truths of their family's past.

On the Malabar Coast in 1954, a British woman's life is turned upside down when her neglected husband and sickly baby leave her feeling isolated. Enter Cotton Mary, a strict and ambitious Anglo-Indian woman who takes control of the household and the baby's care, exploiting the mother's vulnerability and fatigue. As Mary asserts her dominance, she spins elaborate tales and steals from the household, ultimately testing the limits of her authority.
