Poet Siegfried Sassoon survived the horrors of fighting in the First World War and was decorated for his bravery, but became a vocal critic of the government's continuation of the war when he returned from service. Adored by members of the aristocracy as well as stars of London's literary and stage world, he embarked on affairs with several men as he attempted to come to terms with his homosexuality.

[IFFR'22] Another biographical view of the director, through the representation of the life of the poet Siegfried Sassoon, and that connects with the feeling of guilt for homosexual desire in a Catholic environment that he showed in his first short films, "The Terence Davies Trilogy" (1983). Through scenes that have some theatricality and dialogue that can sometimes be affected, the film is a profound portrait of an unhappy life, of inevitable sadness.
