BBFF26 The Fox

Nick (Jai Courtney), affable heir to a wealthy rural landowner, discovers his fiancée Kori (Emily Browning) is cheating on him and wants nothing more than to fix the problem. One night he captures a rogue Fox (voiced by Olivia Colman), who offers him a trade: let her live and she will help save his relationship. All Nick has to do is push Kori into a magic hole with the power to transform her into the perfect partner. The Kori who re-emerges seems to be everything he ever wanted - until her strange new quirks make him question what he has done. With Sam Neill as a talking magpie and a stellar Australian cast, Dario Russo’s debut feature is a wildly original, darkly comic folktale about relationships, control and the futility of trying to change the people we love.
