This film follows 15yr old Mia and how her life changes when her mum brings home her new boyfriend. There is a big contrast between his style of living compared to their style but his actions drag him down to their standards of living.
They live on a council estate full of "chavs" in tracksuits and drug addicts and alcoholics. Mia's mum treats both her children badly and tells Mia she didn't want her.
Connor, however, lives in a posh house with a wife and child who are unknown to Mia and her family. They have a decent house and money which is shown by the nicely furnished inside.
His actions make him lower himself to someone who would live on a council estate like Mia and her family. He cheats on his wife with Mia's mum and then has the nerve to cheat on her with Mia!
He ends up leaving the whole family the next morning and disrupting the whole "happy family" feel. Mia takes her revenge by turning up to his house and stealing away his daughter and taking her on a wild goose chase in which the daughter falls in water. This is a wake up call for Mia who finally takes her back. Connor tracks her down and ends up hitting Mia across the face.
At the end of the film, Mia takes off to Wales with her friend from the gypsy trailer. There is a nice, heart warming feeling before she goes when her sister, mum and Mia are all dancing together. This is their way of saying sorry and making up.
