Bailey is twelve years old and already carries the weight of a broken world: that of the squatters. She grows up in North Kent, between graffiti-covered and crumbling buildings, and dreams that never make it through the day. Her father, Bug, had her when he was a teenager, and now he is about to marry Kayleigh, who also became a mother too soon. In that neighborhood, it’s the norm: teenage mothers, angry men, violence that devours childhood.

 Every day, Bailey fights. Against her changing body, against the fear that Skate, her mother's new partner, might be yet another man she needs to protect herself from. Against the fixed thought that her younger siblings could end up worse off. Nobody protects anyone where she lives, except for her brother, Hunter.

 Then comes Bird, a strange character, an out-of-place sprite like a dream amidst the mud. He’s different. He’s unpredictable. And in a way that Bailey doesn’t immediately understand, he could change everything.

 

Qiao Yan, a successful woman in Beijing, lives a life built on apparent certainties and hollow ambitions. Her orderly, detached world shatters with the arrival of her sister Da—pregnant and overlooked by society—who reenters her life after seventeen years of separation. The two sisters, marked by a traumatic past and an unbridgeable distance, are forced to confront the weight of their divided lives: Qiao Yan, shaped by success but inwardly empty, and Da, trapped in the shadows of a marginal and oppressed existence.

Bernard, an exhausted intellectual and restless son, lives suspended between the emotional void of the city and the slow decay of his sick father. As reality shatters into disturbing visions, dissolving relationships, and encounters on the brink of the absurd, Bernard searches for meaning in sadness, loss, and the irreparable. A film about life and the impossibility of understanding it, where the only escape is a surreal flight above a city that no longer listens.

On a volcanic island suspended between enchantment and desolation, Arsa, a solitary girl, lives in symbiosis with nature, collecting sea wreckage and transforming it into fantastic creatures. Her isolation, a legacy from her sculptor and rebellious father, is disrupted by the arrival of three young filmmakers in search of stories. As she watches their world from afar, Arsa confronts the possibility of being seen. A meeting point between inner landscape and natural landscape, between monstrosity and beauty, between silence and gaze.

Iranian-born artist and director Shirin Neshat lives in New York, where she continues to experiment with photography, video, cinema, and opera: artistic mediums that are imbued with highly poetic images and narratives rich in political content, capable of questioning issues related to power, religion, race, gender, and the relationship between past and present, East and West, individual and collective through the lens of her personal experiences as an Iranian woman in exile.
