Beautiful Thing (1996)
Der 15-jährige Jamie wohnt zusammen mit seiner alleinerziehenden Mutter Sandra, die insgeheim an ihren Plänen arbeitet, ein eigenes Pub zu eröffnen. Er versucht zwar, seine Homosexualität zu verbergen, wird jedoch von seinen Mitschülern zu jeder sich bietenden Gelegenheit schikaniert und hat darüber hinaus ein Auge auf seinen Klassenkameraden Ste geworfen. Als Ste eines Abend brutal zusammengeschlagen wird, nimmt sich Sandra seiner an und gewährt ihm Unterschlupf. Da es kein weiteres Bett in Sandras Wohnung gibt, muss sich Ste fortan mit Jamie das Bett teilen. Zu Beginn legt sich Ste noch an das Fußende, doch später legt er sich neben Jamie, und die beiden verbringen ihre erste Nacht miteinander.
