Tommo, just turned sixteen and released from social care, runs away to London. Marek lives with his father, a Polish construction worker who spends his evenings drinking with friends. Quiet and sensitive, young Marek is a keen photographer who feels uncomfortable in his father’s world.
Both struggle to make sense of their new lives and a chance meeting in Somers Town, London, leads the two to form an unexpected partnership.

Shane Meadows
After dropping out of school, Shane Meadows tried a variety of jobs including a clown's assistant before borrowing a camcorder and making a short film every month for a year.
UK film producer, Stephen Woolley, saw Shane’s eclectic mix of films and signed him to write and direct the popular film 24/7, starring Bob Hoskins.
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.
In 2004 Shane teamed up again with Paddy Considine, for Dead Man’s Shoes described as “an outright masterpiece” by The Telegraph and awarded the Hitchcock d’Or at the Dinard British Film Festival.
2007 saw the release of This Is England, which won the BAFTA award for Best Film. In Somers Town Shane collaborates once again with the star of This Is England, Thomas Turgoose.
