The Cement Garden
The woman who gave birth to Julie, Jack, Sue, and Tom began to suffer from an unexplained sickness soon after the passing of her husband. She is aware that she will need to go into the hospital, so she decides to open a bank account for the children so that they would be able to support themselves financially and prevent the state from having to take them into care. Unfortunately, she passes away as well, and Julie and Jack, who are now older and in their teens, make the decision to bury her remains in the cellar so that they can have unrestricted access to their home. Soon after, Tom starts dressing up as a girl, while Sue becomes more reserved, confiding in her journal alone. In the meantime, Jack and Julie begin to feel an interest for one another. However, Derek, Julie's new boyfriend, is becoming increasingly suspicious of Jack, and this raises the possibility that the family's many dark secrets will be exposed.
