I am looking for a name of a movie where a child (teen), perhaps adopted perhaps foster, is accused of sexual misconduct by the mother figure, made to put a bottle of coke ‘up inside herself’, horribly abused and tossed down the cellar stairs where she dies from her injuries. After which she is met with a man who takes her away in an afterlife scene.
