Based on the experiences of writer/director Duncan Roy, AKA concerns Dean Page (Matthew Leitch), a lonely, working class 18-year-old from 1979 South London who is determined to escape his humble origins. Fleeing his abusive father, he attaches himself to wealthy Lady Gryffoyn (Diana Quick), an art dealer with strong society ties. After a spell spent as her plaything, Gryffoyn's son becomes suspicious of Dean's motives, and he is on his own once again. Needing another taste of the good life, he flees to Paris, where he passes himself off as Gryffoyn's son in order to get a job and ingratiate himself into the wealthy, gay, French jet set. The DVD also features the theatrical triptych version, in which Duncan Roy utilizes a screen split into three simultaneous images to convey this sharp, fascinating portrayal of deception and the class system.
