The Adults in the Room

Andy is a filmmaker teaching at a secondary school and making an autobiographical film. As a fifteen-year-old he had a sexual relationship with Peter which he had to keep secret as Peter was twice his age. The film The Adults in the Room, therefore, combines the story of Andy the student who does not know what to do about the secret relationship, and Andy the filmmaker and teacher who tries to reflex on his own relationship with young students, the responsibility towards a teenage actor and, above all, the influence that the past relationship with a much older man has had on his whole life.
