LADY follows a self-absorbed, isolated noblewoman who tricks a down-on-his-luck, scheming filmmaker into documenting her life.

Mixing faux-documentary style with surreal twists, LADY takes a sharp, witty jab at modern society’s frantic hunger for visibility.

More About This Film

Lady is a surreal British comedy-drama built around Lady Isabella, an eccentric aristocrat who invites a struggling young filmmaker named Sam to document her life. What begins as an apparently straightforward portrait gradually becomes stranger as Isabella's carefully controlled world starts to unravel.

The film mixes mockumentary conventions with absurdist comedy, melancholy and touches of magical realism. Sian Clifford leads the cast as Isabella, with Laurie Kynaston, Juliet Cowan and Olisa Odele supporting the story. The film uses its lavish country-estate setting to contrast Isabella's grand self-image with the loneliness beneath it.

  • Directed and co-written by Samuel Abrahams, marking his feature directorial debut.
  • Sian Clifford, known internationally for Fleabag, plays Lady Isabella.
  • Filming took place at Somerleyton Hall in Suffolk.
  • The film premiered at the 2025 BFI London Film Festival before its 2026 UK theatrical rollout.
