Written and directed by Academy-Award winner Andrea Arnold, the feature received its World Premiere in Competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Starring alongside Keoghan is Gotham-Award nominee Franz Rogowski, as well as Nykiya Adams and Jason Bud. The film is also set to feature some more Irish representation in the form of Bronagh Gallagher as well as Fontaines D.C guitarist Carlos O'Connell.

"12-year-old Bailey lives with her single dad Bug and brother Hunter in a squat in North Kent," reads the movie's logline. "Bug doesn’t have much time for his kids and Bailey who is approaching puberty seeks attention and adventure elsewhere."
