An older man with a grey beard and glasses stands on the deck of a boat with his arm around a teenage boy in a red sweater and jeans, while a young child in a red and white top and yellow cap points excitedly into the distance. A calm grey sea and overcast sky stretch behind them.

About 500 Miles

Bill Nighy stars in a poetic, life-affirming road movie adapted from Mark Lowery’s acclaimed novel Charlie and Me: 421 Miles From Home.

Finn (Roman Griffin David) and his brother Charlie (Dexter Sol Ansell) run away to avoid being split up by their separating parents. They're trying to reach the west coast of Ireland and their beloved eccentric grandad (Nighy), who they haven't seen since all their troubles began. On a 500-mile journey across land and sea, they survive on their smarts, charm and the kindness of strangers – especially free-spirited musician Cait (Maisie Williams), who’s fleeing troubles of her own.

  2. A young woman with curly dark brown hair concentrates intently as she paints on a canvas, holding a thin paintbrush. She wears a striped button-up shirt and is illuminated by natural light from a window in the background. The setting appears to be an artist's studio.

  3. Two performers in elaborate period costume sit together holding wine glasses — one wearing a voluminous blonde baroque wig and ornate gold brocade gown with a small crown, the other in cream robes with a bold auburn wig topped by a jewelled crown and a styled moustache, both gazing off with theatrical expressions against a woven cane backdrop.
