In this surprisingly light and dreamy film, considering the subject matter, a young addict living on the streets of London is given a shot at redemption, but his road to recovery soon curdles into a strange odyssey from which he may never escape.
On the streets of London, Mike (Frank Dillane) is hustling to get by. Roadside evangelizers won't let him sleep in peace, his slippery friend won't pay up the money he stole, and before long, he finds himself in trouble with the law. As he struggles to reintegrate into society, shuffling between gigs as a line cook and a trash collector, he must balance a newfound sense of community with his own itch for self-destruction. There is an unexpected levity and moments of arresting beauty to be found in this distinctive directorial debut from the actor Harris Dickinson (‘Triangle of Sadness’). Winner at Cannes 2025 in the Un Certain Regard section and Best Actor for Dillane.
