Synopsis
This film explores the present-day lives and relationships of several gay men who came of age when homosexuality was still illegal, and who are now growing old disgracefully

58-year-old Clive entered a marriage to subdue his homosexual urges. He’s still married, although he came out 18 months ago. He’s now a sexual teenager: using Gaydar, cruising saunas and having sex with numerous young men a week. 73-year-old Alan came out in his teens, long before homosexuality was legal. But his mum said it was okay as long as he was in love, and didn't kiss them. All of the men featured made choices about their sex lives and sexual identities pre-legalisation, and 40 years later, they’re still living with the consequences of these choices – and sometimes exploring whether they did indeed make the right decisions after all.
