Cassy(2019)

You can't leave me alone with him!

Cassy is a drama about a nine-year-old girl struggling with grief and rage after her mother's sudden death. Silent and withdrawn, Cassy finds solace in a compassionate vocal instructor who coaxes her toward healing. Her father, a volatile man with contempt for women, grows increasingly unstable as Cassy's world expands beyond his control. The film unflinchingly examines how childhood trauma intersects with abuse, harassment, and prejudice. Director Natacha Mitrani draws a raw, unforgettable performance from her daughter in the title role, crafting a portrait of resilience amid family dysfunction that refuses easy answers or sentiment.
