The story of a man who leads a double life, as a respectable geography teacher by day; and by night, a gay man hanging out in gay bars, looking for a longterm relationship, but usually encountering only one-night stands. He eventually becomes uneasy with this dual existence and feels that he is being unfair on his pupils by evading their questions. At last he confesses to a female colleague and opens up to his class, but then receives a severe rebuke from the school headmaster
