PRIDE MONTH SEASON! Acclaimed by critics upon release in 1996, Hettie Macdonald directs BEAUTIFUL THING - a heartwarming romance set in the housing estates of South East London. Bullied at school, Jamie (Glen Berry) forms a friendship with his athletic neighbour Ste (Scott Neal) when Jamie's mother recognises the boy's home life is growing dangerous.
