SYNOPSIS

An Asian-American gay teen meets his first love and raises his younger brother after the
death of their mother in this beautiful first film by Justin Lo.

REVIEW

First-time director/writer/actor Justin Lo has created a rather amazing debut, especially in
light of the fact that he's only 24 years old. Professionally photographed, skillfully acted
and told with razor-sharp precision, Lo's film tells a story of family and first gay love.
Charlie Conrad (Lo) is a 19-year-old geeky Asian-Jewish 19-year-old teen who likes to
keep his nose buried in a book. He's also gay, but very inexperienced. Following the death
of his mother, Charlie decides to not attend college to raise his 9-year-old brother Ben
(Stewart); their father ran off years ago in an alcoholic haze. Charlie keeps his job at a
diner and puts aside money to send his little brother to college. He also puts his sexual
feelings on hold as they don't fit in with his idea of being a parent. Everything changes
when Jordan Rivers (Bartzen) walks into the diner and seduces the naive young man. The
two guys feel an instant attraction which quickly leads to the bedroom. Just as the
romance builds, Charlie and Ben's long-vanished father Doug reappears, clean and sober.
Things get pretty hairy as Jordan is quite impulsive and Doug wants to reestablish his
parental rights, Charlie tastes love for the first time and Ben doesn't know who to trust.
With its moving story of parenting, first gay love and creating family, this one's a must.
Watch out for Justin Lo, his is a career we're watching.
