      Amber says that she wants to live in "Hackney, it's on the Victoria line." At this time Hackney had no Underground station; it still doesn't, it only has London Overground stations. The nearest Victoria line station is Highbury & Islington, two miles to the west.

    Not just about LGBT but what friendship is!

    A wonderful movie and apt scenario how most conservative 90s people treated the LGBT community and the fear of coming out in public. It beautifully portrays what true friendship is! The plot is great and the acting is just superb. A must watch!
