Academy Award-winner Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank) directs Barry Keoghan (Saltburn) and Franz Rogowski (Passages) in her long-awaited return to fiction filmmaking.

12-year-old Bailey (astounding newcomer Nykiya Adams) lives with her devoted but chaotic single dad Bug (Keoghan) and wayward brother Hunter in a squat in Gravesend, north Kent. Approaching puberty and seeking attention and adventure, Bailey's fractured home life is transformed when she encounters Bird (Rogowski), a mysterious stranger on a journey of his own.

A wondrous portrait of the transition from childhood to adolescence that remains grounded in her typically empathetic social realism, BIRD strides to the wildly poetic rhythm of her own drum.
