## Description

It is 1984. Frank (Layke Anderson) is a determined teenager who runs away from high school to find an alternative lifestyle in Amsterdam. He finds a home and a job at the House of Boys, a bar-cum-brothel run by a strict Madame (Udo Kier) who has an eye for what his punters crave. Frank works his way up from barman to on-stage dancer and falls in love with some of his housemates. The first intimations of what is described as 'the gay cancer', casts a long shadow over Frank s tight-knit group of friends. Yet despite the troubles that cloud the hopes and dreams of young Frank, his perseverance, along with support from a willing doctor (Stephen Fry), will carry him through. House of Boys is a glamorous, colourful coming-of-age story that lifts the lid on an exciting world of sex and music, where deep passions suddenly turn into a struggle for courage. Featuring music from

Review: This DVD is really worth watching. - I really enjoyed the DVD, however I found the end very sad in fact it had me in tears ,the actors I found very good and in all cases the parts seem made for them,
Review: Quite good - Not the best of starts, initially gave the impression of yet another poorly filmed release with mediocre acting and a weak & somewhat typical story line. However, stick with it as it improves greatly after a short while. Deals with the aids pandemic in an adult and sympathetic way. Overall very enjoyable and educational.
