Director Tim Mielants and Oscar winner Cillian Murphy reunite, after Small Things Like These and Peaky Blinders, for a powerful adaptation of author and screenwriter Max Porter’s bestselling 2023 novella, Shy.

Set in the mid-1990s, Murphy stars alongside Emily Watson and Simbi Ajikawo (Little Simz) as a headteacher at a last-chance reform school amidst a world that has forsaken its students. As Steve fights to protect the school’s integrity and impending closure, we witness him grappling with his own mental health.

In parallel to Steve’s struggles, we meet Shy (Jay Lycurgo), a troubled teen caught between his past and what lies ahead as he tries to reconcile his inner fragility with his impulse for self-destruction and violence.
