An iicately constructed, lyrical and heartbreaking film about two young men wrestling with their uality in the repressive English society of the 1920s. Told in elegant flashback, an institutionalised novelist recounts the story of his love affair with a friend, convinced their shared uality could be ‘cured’. Visually striking, beautifully acted and defined by a haunting mix of romantici and unflinching horror, this bold film brely examines a shamefully neglected period in queer history.
