A young teddy boy has a chance encounter with a foreign painter

This drama is short and sharp and excellently portrays the feeling of desire, reservation, frustration, and ultimate rejection, that all revolves around a brief sexual encounter. There is one single shot of a train near the start of the film. As a motorcyclist rides under a bridge a pair of 4 SUB EMU’s are passing overhead. This was filmed on Belvedere Road on the South Bank of the Thames.
