Ralph Fiennes stars in "The Cormorant," which makes its North American television premiere on the A&E Network, Sunday at 8 p.m.

The BBC film scored a hit in the British Isles and made only a limited run in April at New York's Joseph Papp Public Theater, where it won critical acclaim for its originality. Fiennes recently won a Tony Award for his performance in "Hamlet."

"Cormorant's" haunting tale of eerie foreboding is set in North Wales where a man inherits his uncle's dream house in Snowdonia. Fiennes, who starred in "Quiz Show" and "Schindler's List," also inherits Archie, an exotic cormorant.

Fiennes can bring his family to live in the house, as long as no harm comes to Archie, the wild seabird from the Orient. Despite the creature's evil deeds, the nephew cannot bring himself to get rid of the bird as the bond between them becomes stronger than the bond between man and wife.

The film also features exquisite North Wales scenery and spectacular underwater sequences of the cormorant fishing by the renowned BBC Nature Unit.
