Narrative Feature | UK/USA/France/Germany | 2024 | English | 119 minutes

Twelve-year-old Bailey (newcomer Nykiya Adams) lives with her single dad Bug (Academy Award nominee Barry Keoghan, THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN) and brother Hunter (Jason Buda) in a squat in North Kent. Bug doesn’t have much time for his kids, and Bailey, who is approaching puberty, seeks attention and adventure elsewhere. One day, she meets a stranger named Bird (Franz Rogowski, PASSAGES), an enigmatic and dreamlike character who becomes a part of Bailey’s life. Academy Award winner Andrea Arnold compassionately crafts this tender coming-of-age story that blends the harsh truths of life with the enthralling fantasy of a child’s rich inner world. A MUBI release.
