When drag queen Rudy Donatello’s neighbour leaves her handicapped
child on his own, he feels sorry for him and takes him in for the night. So
when he discovers she’s been arrested and won’t be returning for Marko, he’s
concerned about what will happen.
With an already strong bond, Rudy approaches his lawyer
partner in the hope that he can help him gain custody, but with homophobia
rife, the only way they can go about it is to not admit to their relationship.
Although Rudy doesn’t agree with it, he goes along with the
pretence that he and Paul are family in order to become parents to Marko and
when his mum signs over her parental rights to them, for the next year they
provide Marko with the family life he deserves.
But when his mum is released early and demands Marko back,
she devastates Rudy & Paul whose relationship has been discovered and they
know they have a real fight on their hands to battle homophobia if they are to
reunite their family and regain custody of Marko.
I found this a powerful, strong and emotional drama starring
Alan Cumming which brought me to tears – definitely worth a watch.
