Tsidi, a single mother, is forced to move in with her estranged mother Mavis, a live-in domestic worker caring obsessively for her catatonic white "Madam." As Tsidi tries to heal her family, a sinister specter begins to stir. GOOD MADAM is "a masterclass in how horror can speak to race and inequality, set in a world of servitude presented as a terrifying, powerful and unrelentingly enduring mode of postcolonial possession" (Alliance of Women Film Journalists).
