Two heterosexual men,
Oliver Marks and
Matteo Gold, are rehearsing lines together post-school hours. They discover they have both secured roles in the school play as a homosexual couple. Matteo is deeply dedicated to acting and views the task with utmost seriousness.
In contrast, Oliver is disinterested, much to Matteo's frustration. He insists they must immerse themselves in the mindset of a homosexual couple to avoid appearing inauthentic on stage. A radical idea strikes Matteo: engaging in mutual self-gratification could help them relax and fully embody their roles.
Oliver, though hesitant, reluctantly agrees to the unconventional method. Surprisingly, it proves effective, albeit a bit too effective as it leads to a physical intimacy between them. But it's all in the name of acting, isn't it?.
