MICKEY AND THE BEAR

Synopsis: In Montana, a headstrong teenager Mickey Peck is doing what she can to keep her single veteran father afloat, navigating his mercurial moods, opioid addiction, and grief over the loss of his wife. Secretly, Mickey fantasises of going to college on the west coast and finally living life on her own terms. When her father’s controlling, jealous behaviour turns destructive, Mickey must decide between familial obligation and personal fulfilment as she puts everything on the line to claim her own independence.
