"Puffball" is a supernatural drama film directed by Nicolas Roeg. It is based on the novel by Fay Weldon adapted by her son Dan Weldon. The film was partially funded through the UK Film Council's New Cinema Fund.

The film had its premiere at the 2007 Montreal Film Festival. The film was later released in Canada on October 28, 2007, and saw a limited release in the United States on 29 February 2008.

The director Nicolas Roeg states the importance of the film because "Life is so full of stories of love, jealousy, hope and sex; horror, grief and joy. But however they are told, they all begin and end the same way".

Plot synopsis

Liffey, an ambitious young architect, moves to an isolated and eerie Irish valley to build a modern piece of architecture. The ruined cottage and land that she will use is a gift from her fiancé Richard, and is the former home of Molly, the elderly matriarch of a farming family living on the other side of the woods. Molly’s daughter is Mabs (Miranda Richardson), herself mother of three girls and wife to farmer Tucker. Now in her forties, Mabs wants another baby - a boy to inherit the farm, or just to be pregnant again.
