My Straight Son

About This Movie

So, 'My Straight Son' is an intriguing little drama from 2012 that really dives into the complexities of family and identity. You've got Diego, a photographer entrenched in that superficial fashion scene, which gives off this glamorous but hollow vibe. And then boom—a tragic accident leaves his partner in a coma, flipping his life upside down. The pacing is pretty intense; you feel Diego's struggle as he suddenly has to juggle his career and take care of his son, Armando. The performances bring this raw emotional weight, especially as they navigate their new reality. It’s distinct in how it tackles themes of love, responsibility, and personal growth in a world that often feels so artificial.
