Synopsis

Tomo is a runaway from Nottingham. Marek lives in the district of Somers Town, between King’s Cross and Euston stations, where his dad currently works on a new rail link. These two teenagers—both newcomers to London—forge an unlikely friendship over one hot summer.

Our take

British filmmaker Shane Meadows followed his BAFTA-winning triumph This is England with this gentle monochrome wonder. Reuniting with his greatest find, the teenage actor Thomas Turgoose, Meadows mounts a spirited tale of friendship and young love that zestfully bounds between London and Paris.
