London pulses with stories of connection found in unexpected places. A programme exploring the lives of those who brush past each other daily: two neighbours, close yet unaware of each other's private struggles; a man recalling his last night with a friend lost to hardship; a young boy weaving through the city’s high-energy streets with a backpack of cash; a British-Filipino discovering the cultural depth of Ube.

From Albanian workers finding camaraderie by a London canal to a girl connecting to her Yoruba roots through music, these films reveal the human resilience and hidden bonds within London’s mosaic.
