In BIRD, acclaimed director Andrea Arnold (FISH TANK, AMERICAN HONEY) tells a touching and poetic story that falls somewhere between fairy tale and drama.

Bailey lives with her father Bug (Barry Keoghan) in a squat in Kent, near London. Instead of looking after Bailey, Bug prefers to concentrate on his latest business idea when he's not partying the night away coked up: he wants to develop a hallucinogenic super drug from the secretion of a special South American toad and sell it at a high price. After she runs away from home in a fight, Bailey meets the strange Bird (Franz Rogowski), who comes out of nowhere in somersaults and a pleated skirt. In a world where no one cares about her, Bird becomes Bailey's closest confidant. But is Bird really who he says he is?
