Urchin

Mike, a rough sleeper in London, is caught in a cycle of self-destruction as he tries to turn his life around. Drifting through hostels, shelters, and the streets, his days are shaped by fleeting encounters and fractured attempts at stability. As he struggles with addiction and the ghosts of his past, moments of absurdity and tenderness reveal the fragile hope that keeps him moving forward. Raw and darkly comic, Urchin is a story about the strange patterns that hold us back—and the fragile possibility of escape.
