In late 1970s-England, Jack is a narcissistic 15-year-old boy living in a post-war era prefab house with his parents, his 17-year-old sister Julie, 13-year-old sister Sue, and 6-year-old brother Tom. One day, while unloading large bags of cement to resurface the garden path of their home, the father collapses from a heart attack and dies. Only a few months after this tragedy, Jack’s mother takes ill and becomes bedridden and frail, prompting Jack and Julie to take control of the household.The Cement Garden 1993 Full Movie Download.
Though Jack and Julie initially clash due to Jack’s immaturity and selfishness, the pair’s tension gradually shifts to a romantic one as Jack develops an incestuous crush on Julie. In their new roles as the parental figures in the family, Jack finds himself escorting Sue and Tom to and from school, while Julie takes up the cooking and cleaning duties.
Jack’s mother informs him that her illness has become worse and she will have to go to the hospital for a couple of months. She tells Jack and Julie not to tell anyone about her absence, or else the remaining family members will be forced into foster care and their home will be torn down. Shortly afterwards, the mother dies at home of her illness. In an attempt to conceal their mother’s death from authorities and thus evade placement into foster care, Jack and Julie entomb their mother’s body in the basement, in a cement sarcophagus made from the leftover bags of cement that Jack’s father had bought.
The children become more withdrawn and their mental states further disintegrate as time passes with no adult supervision following their mother’s death. Though Jack slowly matures, he stops bathing. Sue becomes more introverted, distancing herself from her siblings and confiding only in her diary. Julie forms a relationship with an older man named Derek, whom Jack starts to view with jealousy and hostility. Tom, attempting to remodel himself as a girl, takes up cross-dressing, then later starts to behave like an infant, sleeping in Julie’s room in a crib and drinking from a bottle.
