The new film from Ira Sachs (Love Is Strange) explores a life-defining friendship in the midst of familial turmoil, as the bond between a new pair of best friends is tested by their parents' battle over a dress-shop lease in New York City.
Thirteen-year-old Jake (Theo Taplitz) and his parents -- Brian, a struggling actor (Kinnear) and Kathy (Ehle), a psychotherapist -- find themselves moving back into their old Brooklyn home, just above the dress shop of single mother Leonor (Gloria's Paulina Garcia in her first major English-language role) and her charismatic son Tony (Michael Barbieri). When the couple decide to raise the rent on Leonor, a feud ignites between the adults and strains the formative kinship between Jake and Tony, who dream of attending the same prestigious arts high school together.
