Sleeping rough on the streets of London, Mike struggles to break free from the chaos of his impulsivity and substance abuse. After a tense incident lands him in prison, he attempts to rebuild his life – entering rehab, seeking work, and reconnecting with those around him. In his directorial debut, British actor-turned-filmmaker Harris Dickinson (Triangle of Sadness, Babygirl) combines sharp observation and subtle humour to explore the challenges of fitting into society’s rigid structures, delivering a poignant meditation on resilience and alienation.

Reviews

‘Harris Dickinson makes a terrifically impressive debut here as a writer-director with this smart, thoughtful, compassionate picture about homelessness. It is engaging and sympathetically acted and layered with genuinely funny moments.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘The scenario is so familiar it could have been the same old story, but the texture of all this street life gives it rather a special shine.’
★★★★
