Steve
–About Steve
Set in the mid-90s, Steve is a reimagining of Max Porter's Sunday Times bestseller Shy from the director of Small Things Like These.
The film follows a pivotal day in the life of headteacher Steve (a typically excellent Cillian Murphy) and his students at a last-chance reform school. 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 an impulse for self-destruction and violence.
