An Ideal Man

In a small town like El Sueno, Mexico, gay boys must lie to hide their truth. In despair, Armando is whisked away by his mother to cross the border and be reunited with his father, a Reagan migrant in America. The dream is quickly killed as violence claims his mother’s life on the streets of Gardens, California. Armando excels in his passion for soccer and catches the eyes of a coach from one of the preppy schools on the rich side of town, Shallow Creek. A soccer star at his school, Armando’s fortunes change when he meets Lalo, a boy from down the street exploring his female alter-ego, Miss Lola Divine. His secret can ruin his life, but Lalo is the only true love Armando has ever known. They are two gay teens in love in a world imposing a lie that betrays their truth.
