This movie is for people who dislike conformity. It is a story of two guys that become so close that you might think they are really gay or bisexual. The movie won't show them having sex. No kissing either. The viewer has to decide what's going on. Their co-workers decide that the two of them are a couple, and start gossiping. Some believe other people's sex lives are none of their business, but many want them out.
The movie does take the side of the friends. It makes clear that being gay or bisexual is not a problem. Wanting everybody to be more alike than they are is the real problem here. If they were followers of some new and rather unknown religion, they would be feared and hated just the same, and for the same reason: smug ignorance. The movie is rather sad in its portraying of the loneliness of the different, but there is an overall feeling of hope for better days.
