Little Men

Brooklyn in the summertime. Together with his family, shy teenager Jake moves into the house of his recently deceased grandfather. The lively Tony and his single mother, who runs a small sewing studio on the ground floor, live under the same roof. Jake and Tony soon realise they have a lot in common – computer games, art and girls. While the two boys forge their friendship, the adults around them enter an increasingly harsh conflict. With no money left, Jake’s parents have little choice but to dramatically increase the rent for the studio, which leaves Tony’s mother in despair. Taking the gentrification of New York as its backdrop, LITTLE MEN is dedicated to the friendship of two boys who are able to free themselves from the influences of the adult world.
