The(ir) Blurb...

"The Empty Nest" is a comedy that follows Montse, a single mother and sex therapist, whose neurotic personality perpetuates a disconnect in her profession and with her son, Andres. After Montse hears that her son is fighting with his girlfriend from their sharp-tongued maid, Montse discovers a personal picture of a mammoth male member on her son's computer that she believes to be him. After concluding that her son's asset might be the culprit causing his issues, Montse hopes to reconcile their neglected relationship by helping her son cope with this "big" problem before their relationship is compromised forever.
