The Pride examines changing attitudes to sexuality and the perennial themes of love, lust, and betrayal. Three characters exist in two different time periods (repressed homosexuality in 1950's and the open gay world of 2008) and come to learn that even though social conventions may change, the pursuit of self-knowledge and true happiness remains as challenging as ever.
