Widowed Harry Mitchell (Jack Thompson) shares his house with son Jeff (Russell Crowe), who’s never made a secret of his sexual orientation. Affable Harry only wants what’s best for his boy, including his over-enthusiastic welcome to Jeff’s potential new boyfriend (John Polson). Too bad Harry’s not so lucky in love—his new woman friend Joyce (Deborah Kennedy) has problems with Jeff’s sexuality in this sweet and faithful adaptation of the David Stevens’ stage play about a father and his gay son.
