Holding the Man

The course of teenage love rarely runs smooth, but it is a white-water adventure if you are secretly gay in an all-male school in 1970s Melbourne with a crush on the captain of the football team

Against the odds, Tim and John develop a relationship that, for fifteen years, survives everything life throws at it the separations, the discriminations, the temptations, the jealousies and the losses until the only problem that love can't solve turns up to part them
