A 1980s popstar receives a surprising invitation to perform, pulling him out of musical retirement and into a moral dilemma.

Haunted by the death of her young daughter, a distraught woman develops an all-consuming obsession with a girl she believes is her reincarnated child.

Balls takes as its starting point Heathcliff, the foundling character central to Wuthering Heights, and explores links between the Foundling Hospital story and the much-loved novel by Brontë. Cole’s film is inspired by two separate but intertwined stories; the real lives of desperate women and the babies they gave up to the care of the Foundling Hospital, which are meticulously documented in the Hospital’s archives; and Heathcliff, the foundling antihero in Wuthering Heights. Set in modern day Liverpool, the film shines a light on how the lives of women, celebrated or unknown, were so circumscribed by society in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and considers the extent to which progress has been made.

A university drop-out living with her mum and making money as an unlicensed minicab driver picks up a budding stand-up comic whose marriage has recently broken up.

A biopic about Irish musician Sinéad O’Connor, who became one of the most legendary figures in Irish cultural history and a trailblazer for women across the world.
