As Netflix\u2019s quietly radical coming-of-age drama wraps up with a feature-length film, its stars discuss queer escapism, awkward love scenes and letting go of the characters that made them<\/p>\n
In a house near Maidenhead in Berkshire, a group of sweaty teenagers are throwing a party. Vodka bottles line the staircase, snogs are shared on lumpy sofas and gossip is exchanged. The windows are covered with multicoloured fabrics to ward off prying eyes. Suddenly, as the vibes start to flag, the music cuts out and a voice bellows: \u201cYou\u2019re having the time of your lives, remember!\u201d<\/p>\n
The voice belongs to the director Wash Westmoreland<\/a>; the very real house \u2013 situated next to the noisy A308 \u2013 stands on the grounds of Bray Studios in Berkshire. As for the\u00a0partygoers, well \u2026 they\u2019re some\u00a0of the most famous young faces on the planet.<\/p>\n
