This beloved British teenage coming-out film is based on the play by Jonathan Harvey who said his goal in writing the story was to have a “hopeful, happy-ending story about being gay, being working class, and coming out.” Neighbors Jamie and Ste try to understand their budding feelings for each other while dealing with the varying attitudes of family and friends.
