Ralph

After Ralph finds out that he's lost his mother to a surgery complication, he is left with only a black duffel bag that houses her last remaining possessions ... along with her new jackapoo puppy that hates him. Now stranded, he drags the puppy across the hospital car park towards his mother's little red Ford KA that's clearly been sitting there for weeks as it's covered in parking tickets. Ripping the tickets off the car and tossing them into the air, this undynamic duo of boy and dog set off on their journey together. Walking through day and night, battling every weather-change imaginable, all against the backdrop of the green fields and cliffs of Dorset, they finally arrive at his childhood home. Freezing and covered in snow, Ralph is left to unzip the duffel bag and face the reality of what his mother chose to take in with her to hospital.

Directed by Archie Rowell, Ralph leans on a strong ensemble — Archie Rowell, Betty-Boo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 0.
