Beautiful Thing

Uplifting comedy drama by Jonathan Harvey Summer on a run down Thamesmead estate and the temperature is rising. Jamie doesn't quite fit in at school and skips PE to avoid the bullies. Ste, his sporty next-door neighbour, has his own problems - and when Ste's alcoholic father beats him up, Jamie's mum gives him refuge. As the pair become closer they both find more than they expect in their friendship. But what will other people say? Set in London in the early 90s, to a musical backdrop of Mama Cass and The Mamas & the Papas, this classic modern drama combines outrageous comedy and an uplifting love story.
