É um documentário dramatizado realizado em 2007 para assinalar os 40 anos da descriminalização da prática consentida de atos homossexuais entre adultos. Sim, até 1967, data da publicação do Sex Offences Act, a prática de atos homossexuais era considerada um crime, ao qual correspondiam pesadas penas de prisão que, no caso de ‘buggery’, podiam chegar à prisão perpétua. Buggery era o nome técnico dado à prática da sodomia, ou seja… sexo anal.
Tells the story of Peter Wildeblood, a royal correspondent for the Daily Mail newspaper. He is a closet homosexual and like many gay men at that time, lives in secret as homosexuality is against the law. One evening he meets Eddie McNally, who is on leave from the air force and the pair embark on an affair together. However, it is their weekend at the estate of Lord Edward Montagu which eventually leads to a scandal which rocked modern Britain and led to a reconsideration of, and the eventual decriminilisation of homosexuality.
