Raising a son, Larch (Toby Woolf) in the midst of a female revolution, mining the pain of her parents' separation and professionally writing about a love that no longer exists, she falls upon a troubled man, Pete (Leo Bill), who is searching for a sense of worth, belonging and ‘restored’ male identity.

Rare Beasts is written & directed by Billie Piper. Produced by Vaughan Sivell. A Western Edge Pictures Production. Distributed in the UK & Ireland by Republic Film Distribution.
