- Synopsis:
Feature captures the excitement and trauma of a group of teens as they enter young adulthood, all orbiting around the resonant story of the gay romance blossoming between the uptight teen Gabriel and free-spirited Marcus. Becoming friends whilst studying in Manchester, things change on their last night together when they share an unexpected kiss. However, the romance is quickly curtailed when they go their separate ways upon returning home. Slowly family and friends notice a change in handsome Gabriel, who realises he is gay but decides to keep it a secret. He has little time to mope, for between parties and excursions, his friends have their own set of problems. And when Marcus returns to the scene, Gabriel is forced make some very significant decisions. - Actors:

Great coming-of-age movie - Jitters review by TB
This is a very watchable coming-of-age movie with great acting and a few intertwining stories that bring each character to life and gives the film a few layers.
Most coming-of-age films mainly focus on one specific area (sexual awakening, problems at home, strained friendships, etc). However, this covers all of those elements at the same time and balances them really well to deliver a very believable and engaging film.
I liked this, a lot!
