Cette maison

In the haunting and thought-provoking "Cette maison," director Miryam Charles delves into the mysterious death of her teenage cousin Tessa in 2008, a case that was initially ruled as suicide but holds secrets waiting to be uncovered. As Charles, who is also Tessa's first cousin, grapples with the truth behind her cousin's tragic demise, she masterfully weaves together documentary footage and scripted drama to explore the intersection of life and death in the home. With a deeply empathetic performance from Schelby Jean-Baptiste as adult Tessa, "Cette maison" is a poignant exploration of the enduring impact of tragedy on families and the human spirit.
