“If ever a film puts its arm round a kid and says: ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got you’, that’s Bird and Bailey. She’s a character you feel [writer/director Andrea] Arnold would lie on railtracks to protect – and that’s a powerful, moving instinct to share.” —Dave Calhoun, Time Out

Twelve-year-old Bailey (Nykiya Adams) lives with her brother, Hunter (Jason Buda), and her father, Bug (Barry Keoghan), who raises them alone in a squat in North Kent, an industrial area southeast of London. Bug doesn't have much time to devote to his children, so Bailey looks for attention and adventure elsewhere.
