Then Marion shows up. She is a teacher, and she falls in love with Tom. Tom and Patrick’s love seems impossible given the times they live in, so Tom marries Marion, but he never stops loving Patrick. This is the start of a long, complicated journey for three young people as they deal with social changes, emotional problems, and unrequited love.

Patrick’s explanation is a metaphor for their feelings for each other, a forbidden love, and he tells Tom to let himself get carried away by those feelings.
The one-minute clip jumps back and forth in time and between scenes to show how Tom (Styles) and Patrick (Dawson) get angry at each other and how Marion (Corrin) fits into their relationship.
