Nighthawks
Drama
A gay teacher is forced to hide his sexuality by day while living his secret life by night, in Great Britain in the 1970s, not mixing his professional and private life, until the day comes when his students and his headmaster find out.
VIBE
A quiet, suffocating tension permeates this 1970s British drama. It's a somber, introspective look at a man forced to compartmentalize his life, living under the constant dread of exposure. The mood is heavy with unspoken desires and the weight of societal judgment.
