%%* ManlyGay

* RealMenHateAffection: At the beginning of the film, Johnny hates affection, refusing to kiss the men he sleeps with.

[[spoiler: This is true even after he returns from his near-fatal second stroke]]. Over the course of the movie, Gheorghe teaches him to open up.

The movie is definitely NotSafeForWork, considering the two guys are seen naked more than once and have a rather explicit sex scene.

God's Own Country is a 2017 British drama film written and directed by Francis Lee in his feature directorial debut.

The two slowly develop a romantic relationship.

* CharacterDevelopment: At first, Johnny doesn't seem to care much about, or rather sick of, farm work by the way he constantly goes to bar getting hammered or has sex with strangers to cope up.
