In the heart of 1920s England, a gay novelist finds himself confined within a psychiatric facility that seeks to "cure" him of his feelings. Assigned to the care of an understanding nurse, he embarks on a series of doctor-mandated tea dates that blossom into a deep friendship. As they share personal stories, he reveals the haunting tale of his past romance and its devastating consequences tied to experimental treatments meant to suppress his desires. Their connection challenges the oppressive environment surrounding them and sparks questions about love, identity, and acceptance. With every conversation, they navigate societal expectations while seeking solace in their shared humanity. Ultimately, this poignant drama explores the struggle for authenticity in a world hell-bent on conformity.
