FATHERS AND SONS

Fathers & Sons is a comedic exploration of a group of men and their relationships with their fathers.

A middle-aged Jewish man meets his father for the first time at the funeral of his mother. A South-Asian accountant introduces his white fiance to his father - a gay, bollywood choreographer. A recently bankrupted Wall Street broker has come home to borrow money from his music teacher father, and four brothers gather at the paternal home to pay their last respects and collect their inheritance.
