Two teenagers, both newcomers to London forge an unlikely friendship over the course of a hot summer. Tomo is a runaway from Nottingham, Marek lives in the district of Somers Town. It is between King's Cross and Euston stations where Maek’s dad is working on a new rail link. The boys are both infatuated with the same girl and they pass their days bickering over which of them loves her the most. Tomo is homeless and he surreptitiously moves into Marek's bedroom. It's only a matter of time before Marek's dad discovers what's going on!!
This film is a gritty and grainy black & white film with color inserts. It has a real "do it yourself" look to it and it wears its heart on its sleeve. The story concerns two teen aged boys. Tomo (played by Thomas Turgoose) is from 'This Is England'). He is a homeless lad that managed to escape a harrowing home life in the north-Midlands.
Tomo runs wild in the streets of London and Marek (played by newcomer Piotr Jagiello) is also a young lad. He is living with his divorced father, Mariusz (played by Ireneusz Czap). Both are immigrants from Poland and living in London. Tomo & Marek meet under some dubious circumstances with Marek not liking Tomo much at first. 3* (This movie is OK)

Special Note: When Maria is speaking to the French man in the café where she works, the man is talking about his digestion problems? What is going on with that?? This film is shot entirely in black and white except the ending scene is in color.
