A hilarious and genuine gay love triangle story with an unnatural heterosexual twist. Set in latino working class East LA this is a “coming out” story that avoids all the tired cliches
Diego is a young, closeted Latino, who helps his grand-mother run the family restaurant while carrying on a clandestine relationship with equally closeted Pablo. Diego has long felt trapped by the conservative culture of East LA and plans to move away and open an upscale restaurant, hopefully with his lover. But Pablo views their situation very differently - a point driven home when he begins dating Diego’s hilarious sexpot Aunt Bianca. Meanwhile white gay men like Jonathan and Wesley are moving in, taking over the neighborhood. The attraction between Wesley and Diego is immediate and electric.
Class and culture clashes, sex, gentrification and the politics of running a family business in a changing neighborhood, all with a high dose of comedy are the tasty ingredients of this charming unmissible debut indie feature.
