The Schoolmaster Games, which is said to be an homage to high school dramas, ’90s boy bands, and, naturally, adult erotic films.
But even in this so-called “queer utopia,” things are far from perfect.The ensemble piece introduces us to a number of students and faculty, all dealing with their own thorny/horny issues.
