In Bird, the new film from Andrea Arnold (Fish Tank, American Honey), newcomer Nykiya Adams makes a big impression as Bailey, alongside Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Inishirin) and Franz Rogowski (Passages). The film paints a portrait of life on the fringes of British society, in which a family will go through fire for each other despite the circumstances. Arnold's empathy and ability to find beauty in difficult circumstances give the film wings. 12-year-old Bailey (Nykika Adams) lives with her father Bug (Barry Keoghan) in a squat in North Kent. Bug has little time for her, because he is getting married soon and has a fantastic idea to make money fast. To escape the chaos at home, Bailey often goes out on her own - preferably in the countryside. Then she suddenly meets the eccentric and quirky Bird (Franz Rogowski), who is looking for his birthplace nearby. Curious but cautious, Bailey decides to help him.
