A journey through the life and career of Fernand Fox and, at the same time, a ride through the Luxembourg theatre, TV and film world from the fifties to now. A portrait of the actor, as Luxembourg knows him, and an intimate look at the other side of Fernand, the person. As he played in over 120 theatre productions and films, the story of his career is also the story of the development of Luxembourg's theatre and early film scene.

It is 1984. Frank (Layke Anderson) is a determined English teenager who runs away from high school to find an alternative gay lifestyle in Amsterdam. He finds a home and a job at the "House of Boys", a bar-cum-brothel run by a strict Madame (Udo Kier) who has an eye for what his punters crave. Frank works his way up from barman to on-stage dancer and falls in love with some of his housemates Jake (Ben Northover). The first intimations of what is described as 'the gay cancer', casts a long shadow over Frank's tight-knit group of friends. Yet despite the troubles that cloud the hopes and dreams of young Frank, his perseverance, along with support from a willing doctor (Stephen Fry), will carry him through. House of Boys is a glamorous, colourful coming-of-age story that lifts the lid on an exciting world of sex and music, where deep passions suddenly turn into a struggle for courage.
