18-year-old Lake has a sweet activist girlfriend, but one day discovers he has an unusual attraction for the elderly. Fate conspires to land him a summer job at a nursing home where he develops a tender relationship with Mr. Peabody. Discovering that the patients are being overmedicated to make them easier to manage, Lake decides to wean Mr. Peabody off this medication and help him escape, resulting in a humorous and heartfelt road trip that strengthens their bond.
The always provocative Bruce LaBruce is back with a new romantic comedy (of sorts).

It’s extremely moving when a great director shifts gears, makes a U-turn and astonishes you, overturning all your expectations. Bruce LaBruce shocked the world with his tales of an outbreak of gay zombies, and now he is sure to take a poke at the hypocrisy of the moral majority with this hard-hitting yet sentimental, naughty yet poignant love story and (emotional and sexual) coming-of-age tale. The old geezer and the young lad, played by the charismatic Walter Borden and the very green yet sexy Pier-Gabriel Lajoie, are simply irresistible, and can’t resist each other, in fact, but this is no gay version of Harold and Maude. It’s the emotional, philosophical and aesthetic cross-section of those who love bodies that are different, elegant and decadent, and love them with the normal seductiveness of a teenager and not (just) the lyricism of a lovestruck rebel. One may be 82 and the other 18, but these are no tragic Romeos, just men, thirsting for love, hungry for life, and two sides of the same coin, naturally. Like their kisses in the car, which move you to the core.
