Tea and Sympathy (1956) Synopsis

The seventeen year-old Tom Robinson Lee lives in a boarding house owned by the headmaster and coach Bill Reynolds and his wife Laura Reynolds. Tom is a sensitive teenager that was raised by his maid since his mother left when he was 5 years old and his estranged father Herb Lee was absent. He likes flowers, tennis, classical music, theater and other intellectual activities, while his mates prefer sports and talk about women. One day, a couple of the boys see Tom with Laura and two women sewing on a button on a shirt on the beach and call him "sister-boy", turning his life upside-down.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
