Buffalo Boys

Synopsis

Francis, a lovelorn middle-aged gay man, meets his over-confident friend Mark for dinner and braces himself against waves of unsolicited advice, trying to hold on to some sense of dignity. Their waiter, Rogelio, gets troubling news from back home; he needs to get married and get a green card so he can travel. The three men end up on a collision course of conflicting and overlapping needs and desires.
