A pair of teenage boys growing up in a working-class neighborhood become aware of their homosexuality. While both were vaguely aware they might be gay, neither had ever acted on their impulses. Once they decide that they're attracted to each other, neither is sure just what to do. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
It is similar to (in this case, more like a predecessor of) the Get Real, which I liked a bit more in terms of the issue it addresses. The story is cleverly set in a hostile and dangerous neighbourhood and we, the audience, get to follow the fortunes of the residents who are not having an easy time of it. It was simple, raw and completely honest at the same time. In short, I've been disappointed by British productions on a limited number of occasions, and this film is definitely one of their above average pieces.
