Short description

Tim and John fell in love while teenagers at their all-boys high school. John was captain of the football team, Tim an aspiring actor playing a minor part in Romeo and Juliet. Their romance endured for 15 years in the face of everything life threw at it – the separations, the discrimination, the temptations, the jealousies and the losses – until the only problem that love can't solve tried to destroy them.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the eponymous memoirs of gay activist Timothy Conigrave.
  • The title of the book the film is based on comes from a term in Australian rules football, which denotes a type of infraction on the field.
