Watch Cotton Mary

Cotton Mary is a hospital aide living on the Malabar Coast of India during the mid 1950s. Half white and half Indian, she is a proud Anglophile who lords her British ancestry over her peers. When a young Englishwoman named Lily who is under her care gives birth to a sickly infant, Mary seizes the opportunity and uses her access to a wet nurse and Lily's overwhelmed state as a way of working herself into a position of authority in the English household.
