Harris Dickinson

United Kingdom 2025 99 min English
Ad Vitam

In London, Mike lives on the street. He’s trying to get his life back on track while battling his old demons.

Actor Harris Dickinson (Ruben Östlund’s Triangle of Sadness – 2022 Palme d’Or winner) steps behind the camera to tackle a social issue –  mental health – without indulging in the usual naturalistic social drama. His direction is confident and fluid, striking a delicate balance between lightness and gravity, dream and reality, without ever passing judgment on his characters. A deeply moving story about the search for change and redemption.
Frank Dillane garnered the Un Certain Regard Best Actor Award in Cannes.
