Oscar winner Penelope Cruz (Volver) and Glenn Close (The Wife) star in a majestic genre-defying epic – current second favourite for Best Picture at the Oscars – drawn from the legacy of beloved poet and playwright Federico García Lorca.

La Bola Negra tells the story of three gay men whose lives are intimately connected through desire, pain and inheritance, across three different eras – 1932, 1937, and 2017. Rich with Lorca's poetry and suffused with desire, grief and hope, it’s both a tender love story and a sweeping, superbly assured study of memory, inheritance and queer history, honouring those whose lives and loves were too often forced into silence.
