URCHIN tells the story of Mike, a rough sleeper on a quest for redemption, battling both external forces and internal demons that perpetuate a cycle of self-destruction. Sharp, funny, and laced with magical realism, the film shines a light on the strange patterns that keep pulling us back.
URCHIN premiered in Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 where lead actor Frank Dillane received the Un Certain Regard Best Actor award. The film also received the FIPRESCI prize, voted for by international film critics.
