Rudy (Cumming) is a drag queen just barely getting by financially. He enters into a whirlwind romance with Paul (Dillahunt), an uptight district attorney who when the film starts hasn’t left the closet.
Rudy’s neighbour boy Marco (Leyva) has Down’s
syndrome, his mother has been arrested for drugs and soliciting. Marco runs
away from the family care home. Rudy and Paul take Marco under their wing. They
start fighting the legal system to get custody of Marco, and eventually adopt
him. Though it is clear that they’re wonderful parents and that Marco wants
nothing more than to live with them, this is the 70s.
It’s a very moving film.
