Basada en un hecho real, "Otro país (Another country)" narra la historia de la amistad entablada entre dos jóvenes durante los años treinta en un colegio británico de clase alta. La homosexualidad de uno y las ideas marxistas y revolucionarias del otro, les convertirán en unos "outsiders" dentro del marco de férrea disciplina victoriana que representa la institución de enseñanza en la que están internos.Su rebeldía continuará años después cuando, bajo su tapadera como funcionarios del Gobierno Británico, espiarán en favor de la Unión Soviética.

Dos jóvenes se convierten en amigos inseparables durante los años 30 en el elitista colegio británico del que son alumnos. Sin embargo, se convierten en dos alumnos muy conflictivos, debido a las ideas marxistas de uno y a la homosexualidad del otro. Años después, ambos son funcionarios británicos que ejercen la función de espías en la Unión Soviética.

Cuidada adaptación de la obra teatral homónima del dramaturgo Julian Mitchell. Del excelente reparto destaca el joven Rupert Everett, una de las figuras más destacadas del cine norteamericano tras el éxito de títulos como La boda de mi mejor amigo o Bailar con un extraño. El filme ganó el Premio a la mejor contribución artística en el Festival de Cine de Cannes del año 1984.

--------------------------------------

Another Country is loosely based on the life of the spy Guy Burgess, Guy Bennett in the play, and examines the effect his homosexuality and exposure to Marxism has on his life, and the hypocrisy and snobbery of the English public schools.

The setting is an 1930s Eton-esque public school, where Guy Bennett and Tommy Judd are friends because they are both outsiders in their own ways. Bennett is openly gay, while Judd is a Marxist.

One day a teacher walks in on Martineau (Philip Dupuy) and a boy from another house engaged in mutual masturbation. Martineau subsequently kills himself because of the shame of having been found in a homosexual embrace, and chaos erupts as teachers and the senior students try their hardest to keep the scandal away from parents and the rest of the outside world. The gay scandal however gives the army-obsessed house captain Fowler, who dislikes both Bennett and Judd, a welcome reason to scheme against Bennett to keep him from becoming a "God" - a school name for the elite pupils of the school. Fowler is able to intercept a love letter from Bennett to James Harcourt. Bennett agrees to be punished so as not to compromise Harcourt. (On an earlier occasion he had simply blackmailed the other Gods for their own "experiences" with him.)

Meanwhile, Judd is reluctant to become a prefect, since he feels that he cannot endorse a "system of oppression" such as this, and has a memorable, bitter speech about how the boys oppressed by the system grow up to be the fathers who maintain it. He however eventually agrees to become a prefect in order to prevent the hateful Fowler from becoming Head of House. This never comes about, however, because Devenish agrees to stay at school and become a prefect if he is nominated to become a god instead of Bennett.

Devastated at the loss of his cherished dream of becoming a god Bennett comes to realize that the British class system strongly relies on outward appearance and that to be openly gay is a severe hindrance to a career as a diplomat. The epilogue of the movie states that he emigrated to Russia later in his life, after having been a spy for the Soviet Union. Judd has died fighting in the Spanish Civil War.
