From director David Evans and writer Gwyneth Hughes comes Mysterious Creatures, a powerful film based on the incredible true story of the Ainscow family.

In November 2004 Bill and Wendy Ainscow took an overdose of sleeping pills and waded into the warm Atlantic ocean off Tenerife to commit suicide. Wendy survived but tragically Bill died. The couple’s bizarre suicide pact was the culmination of years of trying but failing to get an accurate diagnosis for their adult daughter Lisa, who returned home after being de-sectioned under the mental health act.
