Synopsis:

In Somers Town, a London neighborhood by St Pancras rail station, young Tom, who had nothing to keep him back home in Nottingham, encounters Marek, a young Polish immigrant with nothing to fill his days. It's a mismatched friendship: Tom (dubbed Tomo by Marek) is full of youthful swagger and Marek, an amateur photographer who lives with his disciplinarian father, is more introspective and cautious. Their dynamic is uneasy and awkward at first-each teen believes himself to be the more mature-but a genuine rapport develops between the two. And when Tomo and Marek both fall for the same girl, the common ground between them further solidifies.

Focuses on the area of London named Somers Town, where a young Polish immigrant named Marek strikes up a friendship with a runaway teen from the Midlands. An unlikely friendship begins and a love triangle unfolds as they both develop romantic feelings for a French girl who works in the local cafe.

A black-and-white study of a social environment in London, concentrating on a pair of unlikely new friends and the girl they both fancy.
