A new pair of best friends have their bond tested by their parents’ battles…
Little Men tells the tale of young friendship and explores the innocence of their bond, told through the complex perspective of an adult…
When 13-year-old Jake’s (Theo Taplitz) grandfather dies, his family moves from Manhattan back into his father’s old Brooklyn home. There, Jake soon befriends the charismatic Tony (Michael Barbieri), whose single mother Leonor (Paulina Garcia) is a dressmaker from Chile, and runs the shop downstairs.
Soon, Jake’s parents Brian (Greg Kinnear) and Kathy (Jennifer Ehle) – one, a struggling actor, the other, a psychotherapist – ask Leonor to sign a new, steeper lease on her store. For Leonor, the proposed new rent is untenable, and a feud ignites between the adults. How do the friends cope with their parents’ fallout and tension?
