This little movie is an absolute british gay classic. Remember "Beatiful Thing"? Well this one is older but it gets up there with its honesty and simplicity.
Matthew is a boy who just left school. He is handsome and athletic and believes himself to be gay. He retains a friendship with only one school friend, Phil, who has stuck by Matthew despite hostile reactions from his peers. As their relationship grows more intense, Phil's girlfriend Sharon and his classmates become vindictive and aggressive. The movie is mostly about the choise Phil must make. The highlight line comes when Phil introduces them to each other with the words: "Sharon, meet Matthew - my boyfriend. Matthew, meet Sharon - my girlfriend!" The two boys find themselves ostracized by both friends and family and decide to run away. They go to the seaside where yet another love triangle takes place. Soon Sharon finds them and in the original broadcast Phil choses the straight way and goes home with her. This DVDRip version however closes with a gay happyend and the boys stay together。
