Dating Amber

Eddie (Fionn O'Shea) and Amber (Lola Petticrew), two closeted teenagers in 1990s Ireland, decide to stage a fake heterosexual relationship to hide their actual sexualities. The plan seems solid, but as their arrangement begins to fall apart, Eddie's denial gets deeper as Amber realizes that a perilous future awaits her best friend unless she intervenes. Amber comes out to her mother, who meets Sarah, a girl she also meets in the gay bar in Dublin, and eventually Amber is outed to the town through the local priest. When Eddie is about to enlist and board a bus for basic training, Amber appears and offers him her savings to help him escape living a lie, allowing him to finally accept who he is.
