Legendary director Nicolas Roeg (Performance, Walkabout, Don't Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Bad Timing, Eureka) directs PUFFBALL, a chilling tale of love, lust and loss in rural Ireland. Set in an isolated valley where a young ambitious architect (Kelly Reilly - Mrs Henderson Presents; Eden Lake) buys a ruined building to transform and renovate. But the dwelling has a tragic history... When she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant the neighbouring farmers turn against her and her unborn child, and try to change the course of nature. A drama with supernatural overtones, a thriller about love, life, grief and sex, PUFFBALL is an adaptation of the Fay Weldon novel of the same name. The film also stars Miranda Richardson (The Crying Game, Sleepy Hollow) and '60's icon Rita Tushingham (A Taste of Honey) - and re-unites Roeg with Hollywood star Donald Sutherland for the first time since Don't Look Now.
