Weißer Oleander (2002)
Als die exzentrische Künstlerin Ingrid erfährt, dass ihr Lebensgefährte Barry sie verlassen will, dreht sie durch: Sie vergiftet den Geliebten mit einem tödlichen Oleander-Extrakt. Hauptleidtragende dieses Verbrechens aus Leidenschaft ist ihre Tochter Astrid, die nach der Inhaftierung der Mutter die typische Karriere eines Waisenkindes antritt: Halt- und orientierungslos wird die 15-Jährige von einer Pflegefamilie zur nächsten weitergereicht. Erst unter der liebevollen Obhut der unglücklich verheirateten Claire findet Astrid die Kraft und Reife, sich aus dem Schatten der übermächtigen Mutter zu befreien, die sogar vom Gefängnis aus mit Argusaugen über die Entwicklung ihrer Tochter wacht.
