A resourceful 12-year-old, who secretly lives alone in her flat in a working-class suburb of London, makes money stealing bikes with her best friend Ali and keeps the social workers off her back by pretending to live with an uncle. But when her estranged father turns up out of the blue, she's forced to confront reality.

VIBE

This film offers a tender, offbeat journey through the complexities of childhood independence and unexpected family connections. It's a charmingly melancholic, yet hopeful, exploration of processing loss with a distinctly British, quirky realism that feels both intimate and expansive.
