The SPARROW (2024)

It’s late summer and Robbie is waiting to discover if he’s been accepted into the Cadets, the army’s officer training unit. Meanwhile, black sheep Kevin keeps on getting into trouble. While grounded, he manages to sneak out with Hanna and they find a wounded sparrow with a broken wing. Kevin then discovers that Robbie and Hanna have fallen for each other. His life takes a fateful turn when, on confronting Robbie while out on a fishing trip, he inadvertently causes his death.

Unable to confront what he’s done, Kevin does something seemingly unforgivable… he lies about what happened.
