Two love stories, 60 years apart, chart the challenges and huge change to gay lives from the Second World War to the present day. In 1944, British Army Captain Michael Berryman meets war artist Thomas March in Southern Italy while chaos reigns all around them. Despite having a young fiancé, Flora, waiting at home for him, straight-laced Michael finds himself falling for Thomas' bohemian charms. In 2017, an ageing Flora looks on as her vet grandson, Adam, tentatively forms a relationship with his client Steve in a more accepting world. But while the external obstacles have fallen away, a minefield of internalised issues and dangerous temptations still line the road to happiness. (HBO Europe)
