BEAUTIFUL THING is set during a long, hot summer on the Thamesmead
Estate in Southeast London, where three teenagers edge towards
adulthood. Leah has been thrown out of school and spends her days
listening religiously to the music of her idol, Mama Cass. Next door
lives Jamie, bright but introverted, who skips school and argues
with his pub manager mother. Next door to Jamie lives Ste, popular
and good-looking, who seeks refuge with Jamie and his mother from
the regular beatings inflicted by his drunken father. During one
such night, Ste sleeps head to toe in the same bed as Jamie, and
gradually they discover their mutual affection and love.
