East Side Story is about Diego - a closeted young Latino who helps his grand-mother run the family restaurant while carrying on a clandestine relationship with equally-closeted Pablo. Diego has long felt trapped by the conservative culture of East LA and plans to move away with his lover. But Prince Charming is not the man he expected... A light-hearted "coming out" story that avoids all the tired clich s, East Side Story examines bias of all kinds, and features stirring performances by incredibly attractive actors. It appeals to the romantic impulses in all of us: gay, straight and somewhere in between.
