After leaving his Nottingham hometown for the big city of London, brash young Tomo (Thomas Turgoose) befriends introverted Polish immigrant Marek (Piotr Jagiello). The mismatched teens bond as they each develop a crush on Maria (Elisa Lasowski), a French waitress. Director Shane Meadows's black-and-white coming-of-age film (in English and Polish) follows the teens as they experience their first summer in London. Ireneusz Czop co-stars as Marek's hard-drinking father.
