It's a story about friendship, love and lust.

It follows the lives of three individuals in the 19 fifties in Brighton and it's sort of framed with the older versions of these characters looking back reflecting on their youth, their all three of them victims of the world in which they live.

The central triangle of this film really fascinated me Tom sort of straddles these two relationships and it becomes very complex.

There is very real love between him and Marian.

There is very real love between him and Patrick.

Tom cannot call himself gay.

He cannot embrace the fact that he actually loves another man.

So it's like deep denial in there.

They're victims of their time, their victims of what they do to one another.

Tom and I are married now, we have to sort these things out on our own, even though there are these kind of complexities within the desires of each of them.

The friendship is real to all of us, just to confuse people, aren't we?

I think I brought Patrick here because I've been so lonely.

What do you mean?

I'm always here.

You're never here.

I've never had you not for myself.
