Urchin

Synopsis

The Cannes award-winning writing and directorial debut from actor Harris Dickinson, URCHIN is an evocative coming-of-age drama which captures the pulse of London’s forgotten corners – the canal paths, underpasses and derelict estates – along with the vulnerability and hopefulness of youth.

Adam is a runaway drifting between the squats, shelters and shadowy underworld on the outskirts of London.

When he meets a group of fellow young outsiders, he’s drawn into their tight-knit circle — a fragile family bound by survival, loyalty and shared loneliness.

He will eventually have to confront what freedom really means, and what it will cost him to hold onto it.
