Product Description

Two teenagers, both newcomers to London, forge an unlikely friendship over the course of a hot summer. Tomo (Thomas Turgoose) is a runaway from Nottingham; Marek (Piotr Jagiello), a Polish immigrant, lives in the district of Somers Town, between King's Cross and Euston stations, where his dad is working on a new rail link. When Marke agrees to let homeless Tomo move into his room, unbeknownst to his father, the pair forms a strong bond, as they work odd jobs for an eccentric neighbor and compete for the attention of Maria, a beautiful young French waitress whom they are both infatuated with. But it's only a matter of time before Marek's dad discovers what's going on...

About the Actor

About the Director
After dropping out of school, Shane Meadows tried a variety of jobs, including a clowns assistant, before borrowing a camcorder and making a short film every month for a year. UK film producer, Stephen Wooley, saw Shane's eclectic mix of films and signed him to write and direct the popular film 24/7. Starring Bob Hoskins in his ill-fated attempt to help a disaffected group of youths, 24/7 picked up many top film festival awards. Preferring to stay in England, Shane turned down Hollywood offers in order to continue his Midland trilogy with the highly acclaimed cult film, A Room for Romeo Brass. The final film was the comedy Once Upon A Time in The Midlands, selected at the Cannes Film Festival and released in America. In 2004 Shane teamed up again with writer Paddy Condine for Dead Mans Shoes, described as 'an outright masterpiece' (The Telegraph) and 'Brilliant' (Uncut). 2007 saw the successful release of This is England, which has been nominated for two BAFTA awards. In Somers Town Shane collaborates once again with the talented young star of This is England, Thomas Turgoose.
