Plot Story

Distraught after losing his fortune in the 2008 financial crisis, stockbroker Jeffrey Desange murders his colleagues and his estranged wife before taking his young daughters, 3 year old Victoria and 1 year old Lily, away from home.  Driving dangerously fast on a snowy road, Jeffrey loses control;  the car slides down the mountain and crashes in the woods, breaking Victoria's glasses.  Surviving the collision, he takes the children into an abandoned cabin.  Planning to kill his daughters then himself, he prepares to shoot Victoria but is attacked and killed by a shadowy figure.

 Five years later, a rescue party, sponsored by Jeffrey's identical twin brother Lucas, finds Victoria and Lily in the cabin, alive but in a feral state after years of isolation.  The girls are put in a welfare clinic under the watch of Dr.  Gerald Dreyfuss.  They make reference to Mama, a mysterious maternal protector figure.  The girls are initially hostile to Lucas, but Victoria recognizes him after he gives her a pair of glasses and she can see properly.  Dreyfuss agrees to support Lucas and his girlfriend Annabel's custody claim against the girls 'maternal great-aunt, Jean Podolski, as long as Dreyfuss is allowed to monitor the girls' progress.  Victoria acclimates quickly to domestic life while Lily retains much of her feral behavior.

 Lucas is attacked by Mama and put into a coma, leaving Annabel to care for the girls alone.  Though reluctant at first, she makes progress with Victoria, but Lily remains hostile.  Alarmed by nightmares of a strange woman and Victoria's warning about Mama's jealousy, Annabel asks Dreyfuss to investigate further.  Dreyfuss’s research brings to light the story of Edith Brennan, a mentally-ill asylum patient who died in the 1800s  he recovers a box from a government warehouse containing a baby's remains.

 Annabel has a dream revealing Mama's past;  when Edith Brennan (Mama) was sent to the asylum, her child was taken from her and given to nuns.  She escaped the asylum, stabbed a nun, and took her baby back.  Fleeing her pursuers, Edith jumped off a cliff, but before hitting the water below, she and the child made impact with a large branch.  Edith drowned, but the child's body snagged on the branch and did not fall with her into the water.  Annabel realizes that Mama still hasn't realized her child was caught on the tree, and doesn't understand why her baby wasn't in the water with her.  Edith's troubled ghost searched the woods for her child for years until she discovered Victoria and Lily and took them as substitutes.

 Lucas regains consciousness after a vision of his dead twin tells him to go to the cabin in order to save his daughters.  Victoria's growing closeness to Annabel makes her less willing to play with Mama, unlike Lily.  Dreyfuss visits the cabin and is killed by Mama.  Annabel takes Dreyfuss’s case file on Mama, including the body of her baby.  Annabel and the girls are attacked by a jealous Mama, who kills Aunt Jean and uses her body to spirit the children away.  Annabel and Lucas find the children on the same cliff where Mama leaped with her infant to their deaths over a century earlier, preparing to reenact the deadly fall with Victoria and Lily.

 When Annabel offers Mama the remains of her infant, Mama recognizes her own child and her appearance briefly turns human.  However, when Annabel and Lucas try to bring the girls to safety, Lily calls out for her,Mama reverts to her monstrous form and attempts to take the girls again.  Annabel clings to Victoria, who asks to stay with Annabel instead of leaving with Mama, which Mama accepts.  After a tearful farewell, Mama and Lily plummet off the cliff.  Mama and Lily happily embrace before hitting the branch, turning into a shower of moths.  Annabel and Lucas embrace Victoria, who notices a moth landing on her hand, indicating that Lily is still with her in spirit..🎥
