The movie is about a group of British boys cramming for university history entrance exams. Their teachers assigned to tutor them, randomly talk about life.
The dialogue is unrealistic. The boys continuously quote poetry and talk in highly abstract ways. It is often witty.
The boys like to sing and reenact movies and plays. These scenes are the most fun.
There are four gay characters one old and three young. The movie treats them sympathetically, even if some of the characters in the movie do not. There is no sex, not even implied.
The tension comes from resisting the phoniness of playing the game of psyching out the examiners
