A Way of Life is a moving story of life's unfulfilled potential - an aesthetically and emotionally beautiful film which permits us to connect with the lives of children struggling to survive and to cling on to their dreams of a happy future. 

With a magical, lyrical quality, juxtaposed with the harsh realities of life, poverty and growing up, the film tells the story of a teenage mother, struggling to bring up her small daughter, and her role in a devastating crime. 

Set in a small community in South Wales, this dark but moving tale looks at the area that exists between black and white, good and evil, child and adult. It is the harshest of rites of passage stories, yet within it lies a most poignant story of teenage love and friendship. 

Ultimately, it is a story of survival that becomes a story of murder - a story that will draw you in slowly, until you find yourself in a world of love, tenderness and hurt - a world which will challenge the way you look at life.
