Adam has been estranged from his whole family for several years, ever since their farm was wrecked by Foot & Mouth disease in 2001. Since then he has never stayed in one place for very long, preferring to keep moving around the country - as if constantly yearning for a fresh start. He's had multiple new jobs and various relationships, but now it looks like he can't stay away from home any longer. His younger brother Aiden is about to welcome his first child into the world, and he wants Adam to be there. Understanding that there's a good chance Adam won't show, Aiden warns him that if he doesn't, he never wants to see him again. As much as he misses his family though, returning home will bring up a lot of baggage that Adam isn't sure he's ready for just yet.

'Blood Cells' is a profound drama about self-discovery, the importance of family and facing your demons. Directed and written by filmmaking duo Joseph Bull and Luke Seomore ('Isolation') in their first feature film, alongside co-writer Ben Young, the film was nominated for The Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature Film at the 2015 Edinburgh International Film Festival.
