Adam (Andrew Scott) works as a television writer and lives in an almost empty apartment building in London. In trying to find inspiration for a new script, he returns to his childhood home where – strangely – his long dead parents welcome him. Then one night, Adam is visited by Harry (Paul Mescal), the only other resident in the building. Though Adam is hesitant at first, the two develop a special bond.
As past troubles slowly surface between Adam and both his father and mother, the relationship with Harry intensifies. Can their love heal old wounds?

When thinking back, the ending immediately comes to mind – but of course I cannot talk about that here. Moreover, the performances of the two lead actors as well as the work of the supporting cast (namely Adam‘s parents) are truly memorable. In conjunction with the cinematography and the use of analogue film, the movie puts you on an emotional ride through different eras of queer acceptance.
Though be warned – a tear or a whole bucket of tears might be shed. (HG)
