A sensual and highly literate drama of a young gay pianist, his overbearing mother and his tempestuous first love. Adorable Paul (Kevin Bishop), is a sexually repressed aspiring pianist.

One night in San Francisco he is given the opportunity to work as a page turner for his idol, the famed pianist Richard Kennington (Paul Rhys). After the concert, the older man and teenager flirt, but before anything can happen, Paul’s neurotic mother Pamela (Juliet Stevenson) intercedes.

Six months later in Barcelona, they meet up again and, despite his meddling mother, Paul and Kennington embark on a passionate affair. Over the course of the next few days, their affair deepens, in spite of (or perhaps because of) their age difference.

The recently divorced Pamela, oblivious to the notion that her son is gay, misinterprets Richard's amorous signals, feeling that he is flirting with her (and doesn’t see that the attraction is with her son).

Adding to the complexity of the affair is Kennington’s lover/manager Mansourian (Allan Corduner) who begins to suspect something’s up. Rather than deal with the whole embarrassing situation, Richard flees back to New York.

Pamela, meanwhile, begins to recover her self-confidence but must realize that Paul is no longer a child. Back in the United States, Paul learns that his musical career is not going to progress as desired; he simply is not talented enough.

Paul and Pamela will learn through their living experience how to build a deeper relationship. Sometime later, with Paul now a Julliard music student and lover to another middle-aged man, the two meet again.

Paul is a repressed gay young man who finds older men attractive. He meets Richard who is also gay. Paul's mother has no clue that the two are gay.
