Synopsis:

A Way Of Life centres on teenage mother Leigh-Anne Williams (Stephanie James); her brother Gavin (Nathan Jones), a seventeen year old desperately chasing love, and her two friends Robbie(Gary Sheppeard), a seventeen year old determined to move beyond his dead-end community and Steven (Dean Wong), a fifteen year old yearning for a Welsh identity. All of them function along the margins of society... until one day, paranoia, boredom, frustration and anger form a lethal combination. When her baby girl's future appears threatened, Leigh-Anne's Turkish Muslim Neighbour becomes the target of pent up anger and humiliation. A ferocious murder takes place which is seemingy driven by racial hatred and in a moment, the four teenagers seal their fate. A violent yet powerful story of a young mother and her child, of teenage romance and friendship. A Way Of Life draws you into a world of poverty, love, tenderness and hurt... a world which will change the way you look at life.
