Guillermo García stars in the gay family drama My Straight Son as Diego, a successful young photographer who lives inside a glamorous world of fashion, shallowness and excess.
When a tragic accident leaves his partner in a coma, it turns Diego’s whole world upside down. Unexpectedly, during this difficult time, he learns that we also must take care of his son, Armando (Ignacio Montes).
Now, both of them have to adapt to each other; Armando to the unknown, homosexual world of his father, and Diego to the closed-off, conservative attitudes of his teenage son.
Directed by well-known telenovela actor Miguel Ferrari and featuring performances by numerous Venezuelan television personalities, My Straight Son channels the early melodramas of Pedro Almodovar to tell a proudly sentimental gay father-son story.
A winner of numerous awards, this is also one of the first Venezuelan films to openly deal with gay and transgender topics.
Watch the trailer for My Straight Son below. The film is now streaming on Dekkoo.
