In East Side Story, Diego (René Alvaradois) is a closeted, young, Latino man working in his grandmother’s restaurant. He longs to get out on his own, but can’t seem to quite get himself to move on. As he realizes his boyfriend (David Berón) is determined to stay in the closet and his grandmother is not quite as clueless as she seems, he’s given the final push when his crazy aunt outs him to the restaurant staff. Meanwhile, a couple of gay men move in across the street and one of them (Steve Callahan) starts to fall for Diego but has problems leaving his lover (Cory Schneider) even though he’s miserable in the relationship.
