Acclaimed Staffordshire director Shane Meadows returns with a new movie later this month.
Somers Town from the Uttoxeter-born filmmaker - whose previous films include Dead Man's Shoes and This Is England - centres on two teenagers, both newcomers to London, who forge an unlikely friendship over the course of a hot summer.
Tomo (Thomas Turgoose) is a runaway from Nottingham; Marek (Piotr Jagiello) lives in the district of Somers Town, between King's Cross and Euston stations, where his dad is working on a new rail link.
The boys are both infatuated with the same girl, and pass their days bickering over which of them loves her the most.
Finding himself homeless, Tomo surreptitiously moves into Marek's bedroom - but it's only a matter of time before Marek's dad discovers what's going on...
Somers Town is released on August 22.
