In a new and unsettling home, young Michael, played by Bill Milner, discovers a mysterious and seemingly ill creature living in the crumbling garage—a strange being who is part man, part owl, known only as Skellig Tim Roth. As Michael grapples with the anxiety surrounding his critically ill baby sister, he forms a secret, fragile bond with this enigmatic figure, aided by his peculiar new neighbor Mina Skye Bennett. This atmospheric drama, directed by Annabel Jankel, weaves a poignant tale of healing and wonder, exploring how Michael’s clandestine care for Skellig becomes intertwined with his desperate hope for his family’s future. With a supporting cast including Kelly MacDonald and John Simm, the film delicately balances the gritty reality of fear and sickness with a touch of magical realism, asking whether some miracles require a little belief in the impossible.
