My Ain Folk

Jamie, already motherless, finds himself torn from his brother Tommy after their grandmother's funeral. He is dispatched to live with his other grandmother and uncle, entering a household governed by frosty silence and rejection. His days become a bleak procession of humiliations and covert cruelty, where occasional eruptions of violence only underscore the suffocating hopelessness. In this harsh landscape of a childhood stripped of warmth, Jamie learns to survive by retreating inward, a silent witness to an adult world that meets him with callous indifference.
