Synopsis
Set in 1988 Britain, PE teacher Jean (Rosy McEwen) is forced to live a double life when the Conservative government passes the Section 28 law, stigmatising gay and lesbian people. After a romance blossoms with fellow teacher Viv (Kerrie Hayes), pressure begins to build when Lois (Lucy Halliday), one of Jean’s students, threatens to expose her well-kept secret.
