Jedna od čestih karakteristika većine tinejdžera je da žele da budu kao nešto što nisu pa imitriaju razne idole sa kojima se poistovjećuju. Kod gejeva je to skoro pa pravilo sa osnovnom razlikom da ta samoobmana traje mnogo duže nego kod str8 osoba. U nekim slučajevima predje u doživotnu kameleonsku izvitoperenost.

Većina psihijatara opravdanje za takvo ponašanje kod gejeva nalazi u potrebi da sakriju sopstvenu homoseksualnost, prvo u porodici pa onda u školi, među prijateljima i na kraju na poslu među kolegama. Umotavajući se u sopstvene laži često i sami povjeruju da su nešto što nikada neće biti. Gledao sam slučajeve da sami sebe ubjede da su str8, a da je seks sa muškarcima samo avantura ili zabava. Ožene se i onda ženu posmatraju kao staromodnu prijateljicu sa kojom ne mogu razgovarati o želji da popuše dobar kurac. Nejasno je kako naprave djete, ali definitivno unesreće i sebe i porodicu.
Biti nešto što nisi može biti dobro u mašti, ali u stvarnosti takvo ponašanje ima teške poslijedice.

U ovom istinitom filmu je riječ upravo o tome. Dean još kao dijete sluša majčine priče o životu plemića i bogataša kod kojih je radila. Sticajem okolnosti upoznaje Lady Griffin kod koje se zapošljava koristeći svoju mladalačku ljepotu. Identifikujući se sa pripadnik visoke klase upada u začarani krug laži, prevare i prostitucije.

Možda nismo uvjek u mogućnosti da ljudima oko sebe priznamo da smo homoseksualci ili nešto drugo, ali je uvjek potrebno razlikovati ono što krijemo od onoga što glumimo.

AKA is a 2002 drama film, the first by director and writer Duncan Roy. The film is set in the late 1970s in Britain and deals with the story of Dean, an 18-year-old boy who assumes another identity in order to enter high society. Dean then meets David, an older gay man who desires him and Benjamin, a young Texan hustler. It is largely an autobiographical account of Duncan Roy’s early life.
The screen consists of a row of three frames, showing three perspectives.

In order to make something of himself, Dean assumes another identity and manages to enter high society. As he navigates this decadent new world, he meets a host of characters, including David, an older gay man who desires him, and Benjamin, a young hustler from Texas who has also managed to find a place among the aristocracy. Can Dean find love while living a lie? How much is he willing to sacrifice in order to pull off his charade? Presented through three simultaneous frames rather than one.
