Dorothy Mills

Dorothy Mills, also known under the title Dorothy, is a 2008 psychological thriller mystery film directed by Agnès Merlet. Starring Carice van Houten and Jenn Murray, the film is about a psychiatrist assigned to work on the case of a disturbed young girl. Plot The film follows Dorothy, a young girl from a small Irish island who has been accused of trying to murder a baby while babysitting. She lives in an institution run by Eileen, a local, and has been assigned a psychiatrist from the mainland. The psychiatrist, Jane, is in mourning for her son David, who died accidentally. During the course of her care Jane learns that Dorothy manifests different personalities: the childlike Mimi, a party girl named Mary, and a boy named Kurt, who warns of a "boss" personality named Duncan. In order to learn more about Dorothy Jane begins to talk to the locals, some of whom are helpful and others who are hostile. She manages to make friends with a local named Colin, with whom she becomes close. Throughout the course of her investigation and care Jane learns that Duncan, Mary, and Kurt are the names of teenagers who died ten years earlier in an auto accident. She also begins to experience visions of her dead son David and is horrified when Dorothy begins to manifest his personality. Jane decides to leave the island with Dorothy, but is stopped by Eileen, who accuses Jane of wanting to keep the girl's gifts to herself. She also mentions that Dorothy is the only way she can see Mary, revealing herself as the dead girl's mother. During the course of the day's therapy Dorothy relates that her mother worked as the morgue attendant for the dead teens and that she manifested the personality of Mimi in order to deal with her mother forcing her to kiss their dead bodies. This allows her to let go of Mimi. Much later Dorothy, under the control of Duncan, Mary, and Kurt, goes to Colin's home and taunts him until he commits suicide. Jane and the locals discover the death and it is revealed that Dorothy has been acting as a medium for the dead teens' spirits. Duncan's spirit reveals the truth of what happened the night they died. That night he and Kurt had attended a party where they discovered Mary being raped by four of the locals. They were able to successfully stop the rape and escape in Duncan's car with Mary, only to die after they were run off the road by the men, revealed to be Colin, the abused baby's father, and two other villagers.
