At the centre of My Policeman is a love triangle between a gay policeman Tom (Harry Styles), a teacher Marion (Emma Corrin) and a museum curator Patrick (David Dawson). Tom marries Marion while being still in love with Patrick, which pushes them into an emotional journey of a hide-and-seek game that results in longing and regret. Years later, in 1990, the trio get one last chance to repair their past mistakes as they reunite under dire circumstances.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Harry said: “It’s about love and about wasted time to me. It’s obviously pretty unfathomable now to think, ‘Oh, you couldn’t be gay. That was illegal (in the 50’s).’ I think everyone, including myself, has their own journey with figuring out sexuality and getting more comfortable with it.”
