In this LGBTQ+ and Jewish coming-of-age drama, David, the introverted 17-year-old gay son of a Russian Jewish family in Brighton Beach, moves in with his widowed grandfather Josef when the older man downsizes to a smaller apartment in subsidized housing. It’s the 1980s, and gays are navigating the AIDS epidemic. David is a novice in this new world, and eventually is taken under the wing of Bruno, a local bartender.
