Mike, a rough sleeper in London, is trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around.
Moving between short-term jobs and small-time hustles, he must balance the hopeful rush of a fresh start with a past that is holding him back.
By turns exhilarating and poetic, Urchin is a bold, vibrant and utterly unmissable portrait of life on the margins.
