Set in a picturesque English seaside town, Ruby Blue (Winner of the Grand Prize at the 2008 London Independent Film Festival) tells the story of Jack (Bob Hoskins), a widower who spends his days avoiding people, drinking to oblivion, and neglecting his trained racing pigeons. A social outcast, he is befriended by two insistent neighbors, a little girl next door and Stephanie, a French woman who brings home-cooked meals to his door. Though he tries to ignore them both, each finds their way into his life and his heart. Opening himself up, Jack takes a troubled teenage boy under his wing, letting the boy help with the birds and finding him a job in town. But when rumors start to fly about Jack being a pervert, and Stephanie reveals a secret she has been concealing, Jack’s newfound trust in people threatens to destroy him.
