Mr. Adamski believes in Johnny and wants to open a new world to him. The sophisticated young teacher also intrigues the boy.

There's nothing new about a gay coming of age film. We've seen good ones before. Yet, this one has a peculiar and very real twist that makes it special. The story is told beautifully by Samuel Theis, and Aliocha Reinert is just incredible in this role....
