Urchin

After a desperate, impulsive act lands Mike (Frank Dillane) in prison, his release sees him clawing toward stability - work in a hotel kitchen, rest in a hostel bed, and solace in a self-help audiobook. As Mike navigates work, sobriety, even romance, the film explores the fragility of redemption and the unseen weight of shame. Funny, unsettling, and deeply humane, Urchin resists easy answers, offering a layered, magnetic character study that earned Dillane Cannes’ Best Actor in Un Certain Regard and confirmed Dickinson as a rare new voice.
