Output (English): The film opens as Leo Kevin McKidd, an openly gay man celebrating his 30th birthday, arrives home and is very unhappy to find a surpriseparty organised by his roommates Darren Tom Hollander and Angie Julie Graham in full swing. Leo has a complicated personal history with some of the guests and hides in his bedroom, feeling grumpy and old. The movie then goes into an extended flashback which explains this history. It turns out that his colleague had encouraged Leo to attend his weekly mens group run by New Age type goofball Keith Simon Callow whose wife is Sybil Harriet Walter. There, Leo meets hunky Irishman Brendan James Purefoy whom he develops a crush on, which he reluctantly reveals to the group. However Brendan is straight and lives with his exgirlfriend Sally Jennifer Ehle who is later revealed to be Leos high school sweetheart. A series of Iron John group exercises leads Brendan and Leo to develop a friendship. As they bond, it becomes clear that Brendans curiosity towards Leo starts to grow in a sexual escalade. In the mens group, one of the other groupsmen become very jealous of Leos friendship with Brendan and that he does not have that with Leo. Brendan fights with the lad over Leo. The friendship is soon to become more, as Brendan appears unexpectedly late one night at Leos door and sleeps with him; after which they become something of a couple, to the consternation of one man in their mens group, though it encourages another, Terry Con ONeill, to explore his sexuality. Meanwhile, flamboyant Darren has met real estate agent Jeremy Hugo Weaving, who gets a kick out of having sex in houses for sale he has been given the keys to. However, he is not interested into couply things, despite Darrens attempts. Eventually this leads to them having sex with handcuffs and blindfolds in the bedroom of the house which Sally has on the market, during which she unexpectedly returns home. Jeremy abandons Darren, who dumps him. Leo gets close once more with Sally, and ends up kissing her. Feeling guilty, he leaves in a panic, and ends up telling Brendan what happened, who goes ballistic as he still has feelings for Sally. Leo finds himself in a quandary, and decides to confess to Sally that he is the one who is seeing Brendan Sally had previously believed it was Leos roommate Angie. He inadvertently does so while Brendan is there too, and leaves Brendan to face Sally. The film then returns to the party, where Brendan and Terry get into an argument over Leo and take it outside, where Brendan punches Terry on the nose, who crumples. Brendan asks him to go with him for a drink the same tactic he had employed with Leo. Thus, Brendan starts dating; Leos colleague and Angie get together; Jeremy and Darren make up; and Leo sleeps with Sally.
