Powerful and deeply moving British drama that follows Billy Casper, a quiet working-class teenager growing up in a Yorkshire mining town. Struggling at school and overlooked at home, Billy finds an unexpected sense of purpose when he discovers and trains a young kestrel. As his bond with the bird grows, he begins to experience confidence, freedom and hope in a world that often seems harsh and unforgiving. Directed by Ken Loach and celebrated for its realism, authentic performances and emotional depth, Kes remains one of British cinema's most enduring and influential films, resonating with audiences across generations.
