An injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastic story about five mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur as the tale advances.

Julianne Moore leads this story about Mary Villiers, Countess of Buckingham, who in 17th Century England moulded her beautiful son, George, to seduce King James I and become his all-powerful lover. 

The BAFTA-nominated UK filmmaker behind The Arbor places Oscar Wilde’s fairy tale in a modern-day context, following two poor boys who work for a scrap merchant and become caught up in the world of copper theft. Winner of the Europa Cinemas award at Festival de Cannes 2013.
