The ache of wanting more while fearing the cost of change

Marking Harris Dickinson's directorial debut, Urchin unfolds as a raw, intimate portrait of a young drifter navigating the fringes of a modern city. Mike is a London outcast, caught in a cycle of addiction and self-destructive behavior as he tries to rebuild his life after his time in prison. As Mike juggles odd jobs, petty tribulations, and legal troubles, we get a sharp-witted portrayal of a man struggling to find stability. One day, he is forced to confront the patterns that keep pulling him back under. Blending social realism with moments of lyrical introspection, Urchin explores masculinity and the fragile line between self-destruction and self-definition.
