A warm, gently comedic drama about an unconventional found family forming between a gay man and his abandoned nephew, balancing humor with the real challenges of unexpected parenthood.

Pedro, a gay man with an active social life and big circle of friends, takes in his nephew Bernardo for a couple weeks. When it appears as though it might become a permanent arrangement, however, Pedro turns to his friends for guidance as he and 9-year-old Bernardo begin to forge a household together.
