My Name Is Joe

Trainspotting without the nihilism, just the grit. Joe, a reformed alcoholic chasing stability, falls for Sarah, a pragmatic health worker navigating the same worn-down Glasgow streets. Quietly powerful, carried by raw performances and the weight of second chances in a world that rarely gives them.
