The(ir) Blurb...

Enrique and David (who calls himself Groucho because of his love for the Marx brother of the same name) have been neighbors in the same apartment building for years - Groucho's family living in the apartment directly above that inhabited by Enrique and his long time partner, Andres - but only know each other in passing. Groucho, still a minor, manages to infiltrate his way into thirty-something Enrique's apartment and hits on him. Regardless of Enrique's feelings or lack of for Groucho, it's not a good time as Enrique is going through some turmoil in his life as witnessed by his need to be in therapy. And that day, he is preparing for Andres' unwanted birthday party. As Groucho's family looks for him, he who has been missing for a couple of days, the truth behind why Groucho hit on Enrique, what Groucho is really feeling and what he should tell or not tell his parents come to light.
