And...you'll be a Man, my son!
Over 40 years old, homosexual flirtations, cold showers, sadism, brutality, friendship and manners - yes indeed, all these - will make you a man.
It is a rare thing - this beauty.
This elegance. This eccentricity.
Astounding. Prophetic. Genius.

The(ir) Blurb...
In an indictment of the British public school system, we follow Mick and his mostly younger friends through a series of indignities and occasionally abuse as any fond feelings toward these schools are destroyed. When Mick and his friends rebel, violently, the catch phrase, "which side would you be on" becomes quite stark.
