Closets is described as “an unusual, compassionate and ultimately uplifting story, peppered with sorrow, humour and hope”.

Directed by Lloyd Eyre-Morgan (Dream On, Celluloid), Closets will highlight past and present-day issues facing young gay teenagers, exploring homophobic bullying and confusion about sexual identity.
