Still from the film Beautiful Thing

A feelgood story about the budding gay romance between Jamie and Ste, classmates and neighbours in a south-east London borough. Shy Jamie lives on a council estate with his mum. Sporty Ste, his neighbour, is abused by his father and brother and is allowed to stay over with Jamie and his mother. The unusual circumstances lead to a tender relationship developing between Jamie and Ste that slowly turns into love.

A light, sometimes comedic exploration of queer relations between young people.
