Spoilers ahead
Hector McAdam is a warm-hearted, limping, homeless man whose rich inner life and painful history unfold across a season of cold streets and crowded shelters. The film traces how his past—a blend of gentle acts of kindness and the subtle, sometimes harsh, indifference of others—shapes the way he moves through the world. In the present day, he moves with a small circle of companions, his close-knit if improvised family: Dougie and Hazel, who share the road and the shelter with him after a stranger offers them jackets that spark a quiet sense of belonging.
