Description
Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, and Cary Elwes star in a moving coming-of-age tale.
In a shabby apartment in Moscow, an American journalist asks a retired spy why he betrayed his country and defected to the USSR fifty years ago. The answers take them back to 1932, where in the closed atmosphere of a British boys' school, young Guy Bennett (Rupert Everett, Shakespeare In Love) realizes that his attraction to his classmates is more than a passing phase.
There, in an environment permeated by unquenched desire and utter denial in the wake of a gay classmate's suicide, Bennett falls desperately in love with fellow student James Harcourt (Cary Elwes, The Crush) ... and is introduced to Marxism by his most loyal friend, Tommy (Colin Firth, Kingsman: The Secret Service).
