Two handsome young men attending an English boarding school during the 1930's have a homosexual affair, but disdain to conceal their mutual affection. The hypocrisy of the other boys attending the school, many of whom are also having affairs, eventually drives the altruistic couple to extreme measures. (official distributor synopsis)
