In this final episode filmed in the week before Christmas 2013, most of the homeless living on Swansea's streets are desperate to find shelter. We discover Dean sleeping rough in the rain with a broken leg, he is disorientated and suffering from memory loss. Dan has a debilitating mental illness and is struggling to find a place to stay before the agencies that help the homeless shut up shop for the Christmas holiday. Then to make matters worse for those on the streets came some of the stormiest and wettest weather on record. 57-year-old Tim, who has a life-threatening illness, is still out on Chirstmas Eve huddled by a vent, the only source of warmth in the city centre. But there's some Christmas cheer. Three years ago we met homeless drifter Paul in Swansea, he has spent most of his life travelling around Britain. He revealed how he'd lost contact with his family and wanted to find them again. Finally, just days before Christmas, Paul and his two sisters are reunited after 25 years of separation in a poignant and emotional meeting.
