500 Miles

Synopsis

500 MILES is a poetic, life-affirming road movie and celebration of the human spirit that follows a broken family forced to come together when two young brothers run away from home.

While their fighting parents (Clare Dunne and Michael Socha) desperately search for them, runaways Finn (Roman Griffin Davis) and his live-wire younger brother Charlie (Dexter Sol Ansell) embark on an epic adventure from Yorkshire, over land and sea, to the Wild West coast of Ireland. With the free-spirited busker Cate (Maisie Williams), helping the young boys along the way, their destination is Dingle, County Kerry and their estranged, beloved grandfather (Bill Nighy), who their parents have not spoken to since the fateful events of the previous summer.

Directed by BAFTA-winner Morgan Matthews (X+Y, The Railway Children Return) and written by Malcolm Campbell, 500 MILES is a powerful adaptation of Mark Lowery's acclaimed novel Charlie and Me: 421 Miles from Home. Produced by New Origin, Port Pictures and Minnow Films.

Featuring a stellar cast including Bill Nighy (Love Actually, Living), Roman Griffin Davis (Jojo Rabbit), Dexter Sol Ansell (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms), Clare Dunne (Herself, Kin), Michael Socha (This Is England) and Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones), the film combines humour, heart and adventure in an uplifting story about family, forgiveness and finding your way home.
