The Men Next Door

Falling in love with the boy next door? That's a dream come true. Falling in love with his father, too? That's just awkward.

A lighthearted romantic comedy built on the comedic chaos of a love triangle with an unexpected family twist, emphasizing warmth and playful awkwardness over depth.

This is a fast-paced comedy about a 40-year-old gay man who finds himself dating two equally lovable men - a secure 50-year-old who came out later in life, and an adventurous 30-year-old who wasn't looking for a relationship. What he doesn't find out right away is that the two men are, in fact, father and son. And as they say, wackiness ensues.
