Hugo Metsers stars as Wolfbroer, an aging gay writer who becomes more demanding of the young men he has affairs with. They, in turn, are drawn to one another. What follows is a sequence of erotic and comic sex fantasies. Nothing is sacred in these fantasies, which explore Catholic guilt, S&M, sexual possession, and the trauma of romantic love.

Dear Boys is an unsentimental, unrepentant look at a kind of gay love and relationship. Based on the book by controversial Dutch writer Gerard Reve, this film is very candid in presenting the cruel, selfish behaviors of its principals.
