Londra, 1984. Joe partecipa tra mille timidezze e ritrosie al Gay Pride e si unisce alla frangia più politicizzata del corteo, già proiettata sulla successiva battaglia in difesa dei minatori in sciopero contro i tagli della Thatcher. Guidati dal giovane Mark, i LGSM (Lesbians and Gays Support The Miners) cominciano il loro difficile percorso di protesta, che li conduce in Galles, nella remota comunità di Dulais. Superata l'iniziale ritrosia, tra attivisti gay e minatori nascerà una sincera amicizia e un'incrollabile solidarietà umana.
